Go back to previous page by swiping left with two fingers on a trackpad. This extension emulates swipe back in a Mac magic trackpad. You don't need this extension on a Mac computer.

Works perfectly fine, finally a browser based solution on Linux!

It works flawlessly! After much troubleshooting on a rehabilitated 2014 MacBook Air on Ubuntu 24, I finally got Chromium-based browser Vivaldi & Chrome history two-finger lateral swiping back & forth working using swipe-back. Huzzah! Still not sure why Ubuntu with Wayland was only able to support history navigation with the two-finger side swipe touchpad gestures on Mozilla Firefox. swipe-back immediately solved the situation on Chromium-based browsers. Thank you very much!

As a Vivaldi user, I want to show my gratitude. Extension is very useful, but for some reason you can't go forward in history from new tab menu.

Great! Can you add swipe forward int this extension too?

Needs far too big of a gesture to activate, utterly pointless when I have to swipe the entirety of my trackpad to get it to work. No options available to customise this

Fedora 37 KDE, opera browser. Couldn't figure out how to use gestures to navigate web pages, this enabled it. 100% thanks to the dev- you rock!

swipe back works just fine, but it is missing the swipe forward...

Thanks! Finally found a working solution for Opera. The only issue I wish devs to fix is that it only starts working after refreshing the page (after initial installation)

Eventually i've found something working properly!! Like Safari's gesture on Mac, you can go back and forward with web pages just swiping left/right with two fingers. Please try to improve it even more, smoothing the transition between pages and maybe showing the "movement" of the old page going away while the new page is replacing it, just like on Mac. That would be great!! Thank you so much!!
