- (2025-07-12) Valentin Degenne: This is perfect, I have been using smartUp Gestures for years, unfortunately today it died because it's not maintained and Chrome has jumped to manifest v3 extension restriction. I tried few mouse gestures extensions but yours seem to be the best, easy install, works with Linux, straight to the point, no useless features added just to attract users like CrxMouse do... And you sharing the GitHub is really a plus because I tend to prefer installing locally for security measures. Just one nit pick: imho "up" and "down" default mouse gestures should be "scroll to top", "scroll to bottom", because scroll up and down can easily be done with the scroll wheel already. Anyways big thanks for this amazing extension, can't live without mouse gestures in the browser.
- (2025-07-12) bob poindexter: Interferes with right-click menu in Vivaldi
- (2025-05-29) Afshin Davoudy: Its not working on new tabs and settings pages
- (2025-05-28) Terrill Bennett: I wanted 4 things: ↑ open link in new tab (in background), ↓ open link in new tab and activate it (foreground), ← back and → forward. This extension covers them all - and much more! Thanks!
- (2025-05-08) Lucky singh: Unable to add new gesture anymore. The status keeps showing "undefined" regardless of any gesture movements or clicks. Please fix.
- (2025-05-07) Иван Федотов: Excellent extension! Could you please add an option to not close the last tab for "Close tab" gesture?
- (2025-04-14) Jay “BigIkeDiesel” Eichenberg: Works perfectly with Opera and brings back all of the old missing options from the native Opera gestures. CRX doesn't work with Opera, this does. Finally found something to fix Opera.
- (2025-03-17) Jay Seo: Since last update (1.6.1), plain left click gesture is no longer functional. LMB requires mouse movement sequence prior to activating. Otherwise, fantastic extension. Edit (ver 1.7.0): You are amazing, thank you!
- (2024-12-31) PuttingthingsinmyNAS: Please add a 'go to previous tab' option
- (2024-12-30) Noel Hareyuna: How to hide action trail ?
- (2024-12-13) John Holland: Thank you for this. It's working great for me. One feature request: add capability to disable gestures if on certain domain and/or page. Some websites use the right click and gestures to work, and this plugin collides and make the sites unusable.
- (2024-11-15) 최강재: It works as it is supposed to be while the other extensions have its own downsides.
- (2024-09-29) Paweł Domaradzki: The best so far. Could you add an action: "Open image in new tab"?
- (2024-08-27) Karian Krutemzy: Works fine on Windows but doesn't work on macOS/Linux. When right-clicking, the context menu is triggered instead of a gesture. A workaround that some other mouse gesture extensions use is to require a double right-click to trigger the context menu and a single right-click to trigger a gesture. I really hope this will be implemented in the future as the extension is great otherwise.
- (2024-08-15) Tom: works great
- (2024-07-28) Łukasz G: cannot be turned off Mouse Gesture Color.
- (2024-07-20) e q: It's the best program. There are so many functions and gestures. And it all works fine. Only essential permissions are required. No suspicious permission requests. Once you install it, you will be very satisfied. I really hope this program doesn't disappear like crx mouse gestures.
- (2024-07-15) Стив Павлин: Can't get this to work with Brave.
- (2024-07-15) Han: Hi, is there a way to hide the gesture trail and hint? thanks!
- (2024-03-05) temis01: Easy gestures creation Reopen tab with browsing history ! Nice ! (especially when you close a tab accidentally) I just miss the possibility to open a custom URL ... And reload all tabs ... mouse gestures color change Thanks !
- (2024-02-08) KC Yang (KC): There is no import/export function and that can be an issue when user apply the function of Chrome profiles.
