Summary
Emulate macbook/chromebook (two finger) touchpad browser history navigation by abusing vertical scroll. You need to enable vertical scroll from your touchpad settings, otherwise the extension won't work. The sensitivity depends on myriad of settings, often operating system and touchpad drivers.
User reviews
Really well done, life changer on linux (if you're using your touchpad often and I do because PoP os has nice support for it). Everything works great but I personally would change 2 things:
- change the animation to the native chrome one
- navigation should happen on touchend, this way you could still decide to stay
Thanks very much for your effort writing this :)
Changed the sensitivity to 5000, works perfectly now. Makes navigating the web a very smooth experience.
Thanks! This is simply godwork for a Linux user. Thanks again, take my 5 stars.
