Gestura - Mouse Gestures

By: PPP01 Add-on
Control your browser with mouse gestures: draw, drag, flick to navigate, search and manage tabs. Customizable and privacy-friendly.

Features & Capabilities

Gestura makes browsing faster with smooth, customizable mouse gestures — no data collection, no tracking, fully open source.

Includes everything FlowMouse does • Custom gestures — 16 built-in plus unlimited ones you define • Super drag — drag text, links, or images to trigger actions • Wheel gestures — hold the right button and scroll to switch tabs • Rocker gestures — hold one button, click the other for back/forward • Area select — Shift+drag to open or copy many links at once • Command chains — run several actions from one gesture • Clean settings UI with an interactive tutorial

Plus what Gestura adds • Configurable search engines — add your own text AND image engines, reorder and hide them, with per-locale defaults • Context-aware menus — per-site popup menus of search engines (with icons) and custom links; the right menu opens automatically per site • Image search — reverse-search images on the engines you choose • Per-link JavaScript transforms — reshape the selection with a small sandboxed JS snippet before searching (advanced)

Privacy first Gestura does not collect browsing history, contains no analytics or ads, and uploads nothing to third-party servers. Settings stay in your browser (optionally synced by the browser itself). Full policy: see the privacy policy link.

Open source & credits Gestura is licensed under GPL-3.0. It is a fork of FlowMouse by Hmily[LCG] & Coxxs — huge thanks to them for the original extension. If you don't need Gestura's extra features (configurable search engines, context-aware menus, image search), please check out and support the original FlowMouse.

User Reviews

Das ist die mit Abstand beste Maus-Gesten Erweiterung von allen! Und gefühlt habe ich sie alle getestet! Die hier funktioniert in Firefox, Chrome, Brave und Edge. Und sie kann alles! Und kein Tracking. Was will man mehr! Wer Flowmouse kennt (hatte ich davor) wird diese Erweiterung hier lieben! Allein die Verwaltung der Suchmaschinen ist soviel besser!

Is Gestura - Mouse Gestures Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
