Disable trackpad two fingers navigation.

No Swipe - Disable Trackpad Navigation

The No Swipe Chrome extension prevents unintended browser navigation caused by swipe gestures on your trackpad. Easily disable back and forward navigation via two-finger swipes, stopping unwanted horizontal scrolling from redirecting your browsing experience.

With No Swipe, you can customize swipe feature settings for specific sites directly through the extension popup. By default, swipe gestures are disabled for all sites, offering you full control.

How to Get Started:

  1. Pin the extension to your toolbar.
  2. Click the extension icon.
  3. Choose your preferred operational mode.
  4. Add specific sites to your list.

This extension is particularly useful for users who want to selectively manage touchpad navigation without disruption. Note that features like site whitelisting require a subscription after a 14-day trial. The extension does not function on the Chrome Web Store, new tab pages, or PDF files.
