2023-08-24 Dimitri It's a bit finicky to find the right sensitivity but it works as promised in the description and for me is essential for Firefox on Linux.

2022-10-03 SNH Works beautifully on macOS 12.6+. An essential add-on since gestures aren't supported by default.

2022-07-16 hackerb9 I really wanted to like this extension because the author is very transparent about "read all" permissions, why it is required and why this extension doesn't actually read your pages. Unfortunately, it worked only erratically with Debian GNU/Linux (Gnome 3.38). No amount of fiddling with the "sensitivity" control helped. I found a better solution is to install a gesture extension from extensions.gnome.org. (I'm using "Extended Gestures" because "Gesture Improvements" requires Gnome ≥4.0) .

2022-03-10 YMeC Wasn't useful for me. Everytime I would swipe back I would go back two pages, or the tab I'm currently on would just suddenly reset and would look like a tab that was just opened.
