Extremely lightweight, yet extremely poor. I´ve been using mouse gestures extensions for many years, so I already have a muscle-memory to do whatever gesture I want with the exact same mouse combo, no matter what addon I choose. But this one does not allow you to do that, since there´s no option whatsoever to change the predefined settings to your own gestures, you have to rememorize mouse actions the limited number of gestures de developer chose, that I´m not used to, since it doesn´t allow you to create your own shortcut, just by drawing it on screen, as most other extensions do. If you ever implement this absolutely BASIC feature, you might have the most efficient mouse gestures extension, but as right now, it´s virtually useless, to people like me. Best!

Extremely few options on both functionality and actions. Works poorly at what it does do. Complete trash.

The Application is good except on most websites when I right click and move the mouse when I release right click the right click menu open instead of anything happening

After updating to Chrome 121.0.6167.184, this extension doesn't work anymore. Tried removing and installing again, does not resolve anything. Any more users experiencing this?

Doesn't support down and right to close tabs. Has a weird default mapping for left and right, they should be back and forward. I want to like it, but can't until I close tabs the way I want.

No link opening by draging mouse. No option of closing tab by clicking on it.

Pretty cool! 7/10, a bit buggy when there is a right click menu but overall very good. Make it works with trackpad (for trackpad gestures) can be a plus!
