## Description

microGesture is an ultra-compact and user-friendly mouse gesture extension designed to simplify your browsing experience. Simply hold down the right mouse button, drag in designated directions, and release to navigate seamlessly without needing any configuration.

The extension supports various useful gestures: drag up to open a new tab or go to the top of the page, drag left or right to move back or forward in browsing history, and drag down to scroll to the bottom or close tabs when dragged long down. Additionally, link-specific gestures open links in new or background tabs. microGesture requires no setup, enabling instant efficiency and smooth navigation with minimal effort.
