You aren't forced to use this, and he isn't wasting YOUR time by coding it. Personally, I find this very convenient.
Just because you don't find an extension useful, doesn't mean everyone doesn't. You may not find my LDAP authentication plugin useful (I could use http authentication or PAM authentication, why reinvent the wheel?).

I concur. My (and all modern) browser has a history window. The fact that it is "inconvenient" is no reason to go around coding things.
Might I mention that the wikipedia is presently down and there is coding we could be using for things like stability and uptime instead of this breadcrumbs nonsense?

And how would you view that ? Of course it should not be implemented server-side, that would be dumb, but client-side, as a cookie/session (like I did in my extension). And you should have a choice to disable it.
Take your favorite browser and visit a few Wikipedia pages.
Done that? Okay, here's what to do next.
Now take your mouse up to the top left of your browser. There is
usually
a button marked with a left-facing arrow. Beside it there is usually a small downward arrow. Click on the downward arrow and a drop-down box will appear, containing a list of all the places on Wikipedia that you have visited. Select one of the items on the list and you will be taken back to that item.
Why reinvent the wheel?
