About Swipe Navigation Gesture (back & forth)

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.
