What's the differences between original extension and this?

WARNING: DO NOT ADD THIS BECAUSE: IT WILL NOT WORK IT WILL USE YOU DATA This is malware's friend

Did absolutely nothing in Chrome 94. Yes, I set up a couple of actions and saved the config. I've used gestures for decades in other browsers, it's not new to me. Either this extension is broken or there's some additional configuration necessary which isn't mentioned.
