## Description

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.
