## Description

Touch Navigation is a Chrome extension designed to improve your browsing experience on touchscreen devices. It adds intuitive navigation gestures: swipe right to go back, swipe left to go forward, and swipe down to reload the page. The extension displays clear icons during each gesture and intelligently determines if scrolling is possible in the gesture direction before activating the command. This makes browsing faster and more seamless without relying on traditional buttons or keyboard shortcuts.
