Features & Capabilities

smartUp Gestures is an advanced browser extension designed to improve your navigation experience using a variety of gestures. It supports mouse gestures, simple drag, super drag, rocker gestures, and wheel gestures, enabling users to browse faster and more intuitively.

Originally developed for Chrome based on personal interest, smartUp Gestures has been adapted for the Firefox platform. While benefiting from Firefox's robust gesture capabilities, the extension currently faces some limitations due to browser restrictions and differing APIs. Some pages, like internal Firefox pages and the AMO page, cannot run the extension. It requires several permissions to access features such as saving pages, managing downloads, bookmarks, history, sessions, and text-to-speech functionalities, supporting actions like saving images, reopening closed tabs, and more. smartUp Gestures continues to evolve as improvements are made in response to Firefox's capabilities and API support.

User Reviews

Users praise smartUp Gestures as a powerful, feature-rich addon with a vast set of actions and built-in Apps (QR, random numbers, tabs list). It's described as highly usable and cross-browser, with stability even after years without updates. The main caveat is security: multiple reviews warn about malware/adware risks tied to the Chrome version, reducing trust. A few users report occasional bugs or quirks (gesture/feature not working as expected).

Pros

Extremely feature-rich with a large number of gestures and built-in Apps (e.g., random number generator, QR generator, tabs list).
Very useful and versatile, offering a broad action set for various tasks.
Cross-browser compatibility / cross-browser usefulness.
Long-standing and surprisingly stable even after years without major updates.

Cons

Security concerns: Chrome version flagged for malware/adware, which undermines trust in the extension.

Have to delete this and find an alternative, as clicking my right mouse button now only causes tabs to cycle through, and I cannot access any context menus or any of the extension's mouse gestures.

Is smartUp 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.

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