Intended specifically for 2-in-1 laptops when used in tablet mode (keyboard folded behind screen).

Requires a touch screen to work, these gestures do not work on the track-pad.

Gestures:

Swipe from the far left of the screen toward the center to navigate backwards.

Swipe from the far right of the screen toward the center to navigate forwards.

User reviews

Super simple, minimalist script. The "forward" gesture tends to conflict with the scroll bar but overall still pretty useful.

That is the first solution I came across that works for me. (Ubuntu on a Thinkpad Yoga). Having to click a small button when in tablet mode is quite annoying - I hoped for a swipable solution to go back and forth this for a while! :)
