Mile Wide Back
Description from store

Turns the left edge of your browser window into a multi-purpose button for controlling your browser and navigating your tabs.

* Left click to navigate back
* Right click to navigate forward
* Middle click to close the current tab
* Rotate the mouse wheel to cycle through your tabs
* Left and right click at the same time to create a new tab

Using Fitt's Law, you can fling your wrist to the left of the screen without accuracy or coordination to reach the multi-purpose button. You could even do this blind-folded.

Your window needs to be maximized to work.

Unlike typical mouse gestures extensions, this extension is more intuitive and faster to operate because it only requires one click. It does not require coordination between two fingers. It also does not require performing the drag and drop gesture, which requires two actions to be performed at the same time.

Es muy útil, agiliza mucho la navegación. Lo único negativo es que no funciona muy bien cuando se usan las pestañas verticales. Aun así, es muy recomendable!
