Tablet Gestures

By: em_te
Use 2 finger swipes to control your browser. Supports 8 directions with configurable actions. Designed for Tablets.

Features & Capabilities

Tablet Gestures is a Chrome extension designed specifically for tablets to improve your browsing experience using intuitive 2-finger swipe actions. It supports 8 directional gestures that allow you to open new tabs, close current tabs, navigate left and right between tabs, go back and forward in pages, duplicate, and reload tabs. The extension recognizes parallel finger movements and avoids conflicts with pinch-to-zoom actions.

You can customize the number of fingers required, the distance needed for gesture recognition, and configure the gestures to suit your preferences. A demo page is included to practice and familiarize yourself with the gestures. Note that this extension is optimized for multi-touch screens and does not support trackpads. Tablet Gestures is perfect for tablet users looking for efficient tab and page control using simple gestures.

I'm using the add on solely in tablet mode when the touch pad gestures are not accesibble to navigate forth and back. To counter issues with interfering with pinch to zoom, just set the add-on to react on a single finger only :) Works lovely

Is Tablet Gestures Safe?

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
