Ok, maybe not so awesome afterall. I cannot figure out how to use this dam thing, inputs appear to trigger at random. The only one I could get to work %90 is locking the browser but it's not worth keeping just for that. That aside, all the extension managed to do was make browsing highly unpredictable. I never know when this thing is going to make my browser act erratically opening links I never clicked on, switching through previous tabs and history, and scrolling top and bottom. At times all these actions triggered when I did a single pinch to zoom at other times simply dragging to scroll on the touchscreen. User experience was terrible and the extension which is supposed to enhance browsing resulted in complete fail. The settings page makes no sense whatsoever and I never had difficulty understanding proposed/expected extension features until this one. I have finally been stumped. Highly not recommended. In addition, experimented on windows pc to see if behavior would improve, it did not. In fact nothing worked except scrolling top and bottom but at the same time triggered page zoom wth!?
Works well, though the author didn't list all the features.
Basically you can do the following with double clicks on a page (you can require a modified key, I use control):
- Forward
- Back
- Close tab
- Reopen closed tab
Put together with text field manipulation and scroll to top it makes surfing with just a mouse much easier.
