What is swipe-back?
'Swipe-Back' is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to improve trackpad functionality for non-Mac users. It lets users swipe left with two fingers on their trackpad to navigate back to the previous page, replicating the Mac magic trackpad's smooth browsing experience. No need for Mac users as it is a built-in feature there.
