simpleGesturesは、シンプルかつ直感的なマウスジェスチャ機能を提供するChrome拡張機能です。設定画面や使い勝手の簡潔さに重点を置き、ユーザーが手軽にブラウジング操作を効率化できます。

Ctrlキーを押している間はジェスチャー機能が無効になるため、誤操作を防止。Chromeのセキュリティ制限により内蔵ページでは動作しませんが、Windows、Mac OS、Linux上で利用可能です。プライバシーに配慮し、ユーザーデータはローカル環境にのみ保存し外部に送信しません。GitHubでソースコードも公開中です。

User reviews

simpleGestures is praised for its simplicity, lightweight performance, and effective core functionalities, especially on Linux and Chrome platforms. Users appreciate its basic yet useful gesture commands and unique right-click drag tab opening feature. However, recurring CPU usage spikes and missing advanced features like full-screen toggle and tab duplication limit its appeal. Some users face inconsistent behavior across sites and browsers, and minor usability bugs have been reported. Overall, it is a solid, easy-to-use extension that could benefit from additional commands and performance optimizations.

Pros

Simple and easy to use with minimal configuration.
Lightweight and performs smoothly, even preferred over heavier alternatives like crxMouse.
Offers essential mouse gesture functions that work well on multiple platforms, including Linux and Chrome OS.
Customizable gestures allowing users to tailor functionality to their needs.
Supports opening links in new tabs via right-click drag gesture, which is unique among similar extensions.

Cons

High CPU usage reported by multiple users, sometimes occurring even when Chrome is idle.
Lack of certain advanced commands and functions such as full-screen toggle (F11), page scroll by one screen, and tab duplication.
Occasional issues with gestures not working on specific websites or inconsistent behavior on different platforms (e.g., Microsoft Edge, Chrome OS).
Some UI settings like displaying gesture text not properly reflecting changes after updates.
Accidental closing of pinned tabs and glitches with scrolling gestures not reaching page ends in some cases.
