## Description

**Assistive Touch for Android** is a versatile Chrome extension designed to emulate hardware buttons virtually, helping preserve your device's physical home key. It provides easy touch access to essential functions like locking the screen, opening recent tasks, adjusting volume, and navigating back.

Key features include virtual Home, Volume, and Back buttons, customizable gesture settings (one tap, double tap, long press), quick access to favorite apps, and system settings. Advanced features such as Capture Screenshot and Power popup are available on devices running Android 5.0 and above. Additional controls include opening notifications, toggling ring modes (normal, vibrate, silent), screen rotation, airplane mode, and flashlight brightness.

This extension enhances Android device usability while maintaining the integrity of physical buttons. Note: Device Administrator permission is required for some functionalities.
