## Description

Mouse Gestures is a powerful Chrome extension designed for efficient browsing using intuitive mouse movements.

Ideal for Linux and macOS users (with a brief configuration in about:config), this extension enhances navigation speed and convenience. 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.
