Features & Capabilities

Mouse Gestures is a powerful Chrome extension designed for efficient browsing using intuitive mouse movements. By holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse in specific directions, users can perform common actions such as opening a new tab, closing or duplicating tabs, navigating forward and backward, reloading pages, or stopping page loading.

Note that it doesn't operate on restricted pages like addons.mozilla.org. With Mouse Gestures, streamline your browsing experience through natural and easy-to-learn gestures.

User Reviews

Would be better if it was even slightly configurable. I'm used to having an Up gesture return to the top of the page. I don't think I've had to stop a page from loading in over a decade, so that command is useless to me and there's no way to change it. Mostly just hoping to contact the dev with this review.

I created an account just for this, this extension is a must have, it just works, no hard setups, i've been using it for a very long time and had no problem with it and no data steal (i checked the code).

Is Mouse Gestures Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Mouse Gestures requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
