Review summary

Simple Mouse Gestures is praised for its compatibility, multifunctionality, and customizable features that enhance productivity. However, multiple users express strong privacy concerns over the extensive permissions it requires without clear justification. Some mention slower performance relative to alternatives and conflicts with other add-ons that can disrupt mouse gestures. Additionally, the extension cannot operate on Firefox's built-in pages due to security restrictions. Overall, it is a useful and powerful tool but hampered by privacy worries and some functional limitations.

Pros

Highly compatible mouse gestures that are similar to other popular extensions.
Combines multiple functionalities such as mouse gestures, drag & drop, and multi-select link opener in one extension.
Offers many options and customizable features uncommon in similar extensions.
Good usability and intuitive logic for handling gestures, allowing multiple gestures to map to one action.

Cons

Requires excessive permissions without clear explanation, including access to browsing history, downloads, bookmarks, and themes, raising privacy concerns.
Slower performance compared to other similar extensions.
Limited functionality on Firefox built-in pages due to Mozilla's security restrictions, with no solution available.
Conflicts with certain other extensions, such as 'Absolute Right click and copy', causing gesture functionality issues on some websites.
