23andMe: Add Top Pagination to Shared Matches

What problem does 23andMe Add Top Pagination to Shared Matches solve?

23andMe only shows pagination controls at the bottom of the Relatives in Common list, so working through a long shared match list means scrolling all the way down every time you want to change pages. 23andMe Add Top Pagination to Shared Matches adds a matching pagination toolbar at the top of the list and lets you flip pages with the arrow keys.

How does 23andMe Add Top Pagination to Shared Matches work?

On any 23andMe Relatives in Common page, a small toolbar is added near the top of the list with previous and next buttons and the current page number.
