Does exactly as advertised
by Dan Le, 2024-06-04

Does pretty much what is says it will do, at least in my experience. Have been using it for awhile. Thanks! On Linux Mint with gnome and Brave browser I'm finding it works differently from when I was using windows with Brave. You have to do left twice while holding right to go back, instead of once like on windows. Not sure this can be easily fixed since it seems like it's a OS thing, but if a fix (only having to click left once) can be looked into that would be nice.
