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.
