Jonathan Shaltz (ID: 000000f22a07575e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/18/2021 Did absolutely nothing in Chrome 94. Yes, I set up a couple of actions and saved the config. I've used gestures for decades in other browsers, it's not new to me. Either this extension is broken or there's some additional configuration necessary which isn't mentioned.

Kian Jafarzadhpour (ID: 000000185bd2fc40) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/15/2021 Simple and works. I actually wanted something like this over the popular extensions because I'm paranoid by the amount of permissions they request. So, thanks for this. Edit: Would like to request a gesture for opening highlighted text in new tab. Would be cool.
