Swipe Navigation Gesture (back & forth)
Extension Actions
[FOSS] Navigate back and forth with 2-finger swipe gestures
FOSS (Free and Open Source Software)
Repository: https://github.com/44yu5h/chrome-swipe-nav-ext
This extension is especially for people using Chrome on Linux whose "back/forward two-finger swipe navigation gesture" does not work. Mainly, Linux using anything other than Wayland will need this, however, others can use it too by disabling the native one for visual flair (either from chrome://flags or by another extension).
Features:
1. Swipe back/forth to navigate
2. Quick on/off toggle button
3. Change Arrow Size
4. Adjust Sensitivity
5. Set Arrow Fade Delay
6. Alter Icon Travel Distance
7. Select Custom Arrow Style
Usage info:
It won't work on "New Tab" or any other Chrome-specific pages due to security restrictions. That’s just how all extensions work—don’t judge my skills
Settings will save automatically when changed. Refresh page to reflect changes

- Works great--I did notice the sensitivity was really picky and if it's too sensitive (which for me was honestly anything over 5/100) it threw me back several pages with one gesture. Idk if it's intentional behaviour, but what I was expecting was it would only even throw me back 1 page with a swipe--regardless of how long it was. Maybe there's a way to set a 'threshold' and anything over that without lifting the figure sends you back (or forward), but if it doesn't hit it it's ignored? Anyways it helped me greatly. Thank you!
