Nano Gestures is a lightweight browser extension that introduces four fundamental mouse gestures to streamline your web navigation. By holding the right mouse button and dragging in left, right, up, or down directions, users can quickly execute actions like navigating back, moving forward, creating or closing tabs, and more.

Designed primarily for Windows users, this extension allows full customization of gestures with up to eight actions by incorporating the ctrl key. Its ultra-sensitive "nano" setting triggers gestures with minimal mouse movement, catering to power users needing fast interaction. While some browser pages restrict gesture detection, Nano Gestures provides a significant boost to productivity and seamless browsing. It is also available for Chrome with Windows support.

Extension safety

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.

Nano Gestures requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
