isogino (ID: 000000fe29ba0171) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/22/2023 オプションで選択できる部分がほとんどないので、細部の設定に凝りたい方には不向きです。 しかし私の場合は、複数のプロフィールで統一したジェスチャーを使いたいので、選択肢がないのはむしろ歓迎です。 よく使うジェスチャーがあればそれでいい、複雑なジェスチャーを覚えるのはいやだ、という方にも適しています。

Shaun P (ID: 000000f950e95d86) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2022 This extension works as stated. To use it, you will need to click and drag using your RIGHT mouse button.

Tiper (ID: 000000c383eeae43) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/11/2020 Still works, lacks a way to change which gesture does what. But even without it it's still enough.

Observer (ID: 0000007971ed30ab) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/18/2019 Отличное расширение и самое главное "чистое", не требует разрешений и не отправляет никаких данных куда либо, в отличие от того же CrxMouse у которого в разрешениях указывается просмотр вкладок, сбор данных и т.п.
