Features & Capabilities

The Touchscreen Swipe Navigation Chrome extension brings intuitive touchscreen gestures to Firefox, enhancing your browsing experience on touch-enabled devices. With simple single-finger actions, you can effortlessly navigate back by swiping right, move forward by swiping left, and reload the page by pulling down from the top.

Unlike other gesture extensions that may require edge swipes or multiple fingers, this extension allows gestures anywhere on the page, making it ergonomic even when holding devices with both hands. It focuses exclusively on touchscreen inputs—not trackpad or mouse gestures—ensuring precise control tailored for touch interaction. If you encounter any gesture issues, the developers encourage feedback to improve functionality.

code looks good and works

Navigating backwards and forwards is fine, but refresh is kinda annoying. Swiping down to navigate through my youtube playlists while I'm watching something will trigger the refresh, even when I don't want to.

I'm really surprised that A) this isn't default in-built functionality and B) that the way to enable this feature seems to be this little 110 user extension? Perhaps there's something I'm missing but, if not, then 5 starts for making this work! (do have the niggling feeling that I am missing something though, if this really wasn't possible in native, wouldn't this ext have more users 😅). Either way: it works! So ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Is Touchscreen Swipe Navigation 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.

Touchscreen Swipe Navigation requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Touchscreen Swipe Navigation has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
