Features & Capabilities

Opera Gestures brings the classic mouse gestures from Opera 12 to your browser, enhancing navigation efficiency and user experience. This lightweight and simple extension supports link and wheel gestures, allowing users to navigate history, open links in new tabs, refresh pages, manage windows, and more with intuitive mouse movements.

Key features include customizable gesture sensitivity and a blacklist for site exclusions. It is open source, developed primarily for Firefox Quantum (57+), and requires permissions to access website data and manage recently closed tabs for certain functionalities. While it excels in many areas, a few limitations exist, such as restrictions on "about:" pages and some interaction nuances with child frames and touch gestures. Opera Gestures offers a powerful, nostalgic browsing enhancement with modern flexibility.

Is Opera 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.

Opera 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.
