by Firefox user 13672878, 6 jaar geledeThis extension lacks some very needed features like when I select different words on webpages then do a gesture a pop-up should open with all my websearch engines or at least 4 or 5 of them that I could add on the settings and then I select the search engine and a new tab would open in the background or foreground with the search, that way I usually search for content on the web with Google, Youtube, Dictionary or other webpages that have search engines on them, it's very easy to search content that way you just select words like complete song names then do a gesture select Youtube and voila the song is found, or select names open Google images and find the person, even on Facebook, Twiter etc.

posted 6 jaar geledeThis feature is already planned, unfortunatly it requires some additional API, which is not yet implemented by mozilla. For more information see here: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/issues/99

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 2 maande geledeI've used this extension since its early days. I'd tried others, but this has evolved a better interface. I have one suggestion: when a conflicting (ambiguous) gesture is found (two equal gestures for different actions), the extension tries the older action first, then tries the next. That could be an actual feature: same gestures should be executed in the order they appear in the list (the gestures would have to be shown as an ordered list for that), maybe adding a "break" option to stop the execution at a certain gesture (e.g., a single gesture could trigger a Save Link and a Save Image, in that order, but if the image was a link, an option could prevent the image from being saved.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by LinusCDE, 3 maande geledeInitially discovered this feature in Vivaldi and got hooked hard. When I switched to Firefox, it was only thanks to this extension, since I could keep using the gestures I got used to.
I even checked for alternatives and it seems this extension for Firefox is the best one. You can't seemingly do this consistently on Chrome (on Linux at least).
If you love the back swipe gesture on touchpads, this is basically the same but for a mouse (even faster imo). No need setting up very complex gestures. Just as simple back gesture alone makes this extension worth everything.
Personally I use the back gesture (swipe left with mouse right button) and close + restore tab mostly. Though you can add pretty much everything imaginable which I love! - Rated 4 out of 5by R136a1, 3 maande gelede
