Extension summary

This extension is for those who use a mouse with only three buttons. (primary, secondary and wheel)

With other input devices such as 5-button mouse or Apple's trackpad and magic mouse, navigating pages (Go back/forward) in the browser is seamless. This extension solves problem for easy navigation with a 3-button mouse.

Just like swiping the trackpad to go back/forward, user can wheel-click then drag horizontally to go back/forward. (Drag to the right - Go Back a Page, Drag to the left - Go Forward a Page)

User has options to change the drag threshold length (in pixels). (e.g. if user wants dragging to be shorter, they can change settings in options page)
