- Extension status: Featured
The acclaimed mouse gesture extension Gesturefy, now available for Chromium-based browsers.
Still your favorite gesture extension, now on Chromium-based browsers
Cesturefy is a Chromium adaptation of the popular Robbendebiene/Gesturefy mouse gesture extension originally for Firefox, bringing the same smooth gesture control to Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers.
Features
- Mouse gestures (moving the mouse while holding the left, middle, or right button)
- Rocker gestures (left-click while holding the right mouse button and vice versa)
- Wheel gestures (scroll wheel while holding the left, middle, or right button)
- 79 different predefined commands
- Provides special commands like popup, multi purpose and cross add-on command
- Customizable gesture trace and status information style
- Light, dark and highcontrast theme
Limitations
- Cesturefy does not work on Chrome internal pages like chrome://extensions or other restricted pages. This is due to browser security restrictions.
- The page must be partially loaded to perform gestures.
- Gestures cannot be properly performed inside iframe pages, because Chrome does not provide the mozInnerScreenX/Y API.
- On Linux and macOS, right-click menu gestures require a double click to trigger. Chrome does not support the browserSettings.contextMenuShowEvent API.

- Works well except there is an issue with click hit boxes not working if the Rocking Gesture is turned on. A good example is on a google search result page if you wanted to see just video results clicking "video" does nothing. If you click the top most of the hit box it works. Caused me a couple of hours of frustration.

- Took a lot to move me off of CRX. Popup for closed tabs is ***chef's kiss***

- Migrated from SmartUp to a not so popular extension, since it's not available. As that one updated, I came here and found two more new gesture extensions. This one worked perfectly fine and has all the gestures/functions I need. Even I found some more new interesting features. The stroke identification is good, and very quick response. It's small. Only two things mentioned: 1. When re-configure the function/command of a stroke, we need two "save" clicks, one on the command sidebar, the other one on the pop-up configuration tab. The second "save" is below the bottom of the screen, we need to scroll down. So I didn't know that and closed some of my tabs unintentionally... 2. The command "recover tab" / re-open closed tab, when turn on the switch "only this window" it won't work. And the re-opened tab is not at the place where it was. It would be the last in the tab group.

- Finally, after many, many years of waiting, there is finally a reasonably configurable, well-functioning, and reliable extension that brings mouse gestures to Chrome. I never thought I'd see the day. Two thumbs up. Keep up the good work.

- The app isn't bad! But there is one drawback. The backup file created cannot be used in another browser. This backup file only works in the browser in which it was created. This is very inconvenient. If I want to install this app in another browser, I will have to re-register all the mouse gestures.

- Works very well in Vivaldi. I prefer it to the built-in gestures because of mouse trails and toast.

- Great! Adding a chain of commands feature similar to the AutoControl extension would definitely enhance the functionality of the tool. Thank you very much!
