## Description

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.
