WOW! A really nice approach to mouse gestures. I am very concerned about all the data access it needs but it is probably for the functionality.

I have used mouse gestures from Opera v4 and Firefox FireGestures, to crxMouse or smartUp in Chrome, but I had never tried the circular menu of Opera v12. I have to say that I really liked this new way of interacting in navigation, it seems to me an advance in speed, simplicity and clarity. The implementation for Chrome and Firefox is excellent, everything works very well and with many options to suit all tastes. Thanks for your great work Max.

It's soo good!! especially for Pen tablet usage.
