User reviews

This appears to be another fork of miniGestures, which is a good thing, as that fork family is the only family of the gestures addons I can find that supports having the same, right-drag gesture either 1) open a URL in a new tab, or 2) simply open a new tab if there was no URL under the cursor when the gesture started. This fork adds a domain blacklisting / exclusion feature, so you can disable the gestures on pages that support using the right mouse button, such as roll20 and Amazon Web Services. The exclusion text is actually regex, and it matches against the domain, not the URL as a whole. You can use ^ and $ (e.g., "^en\.wikipedia\.org$") to match the beginning and end of the domain if you don't want to match against subdomains. It's very nice. This extension does not support syncing settings via the browser. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on how you want to use it. The settings are simple enough that it's not a big hassle to set it up on each computer. For other extensions that allow hundreds of gestures, syncing is vital, but it's not really necessary here.
