About this extension
FlowMouse -- An open-source Firefox mouse gesture extension designed for ultimate smoothness and privacy protection. Seamlessly control your browser with natural mouse swipes and enter a state of focused, efficient "flow".

✨ Core Features
- Fully Local, Privacy First: All operations are performed locally (except for Firefox's built-in sync). Zero network requests, zero data collection, and zero data uploads ensure complete privacy protection.
- Custom Gestures: Includes 16 default gestures with support for adding unlimited custom gestures.
- Super Drag for Efficiency:
- Drag Text → Search selected text with custom engines, copy text, and more.
- Drag Image → Open in new tab, save image, copy image URL, reverse image search, or perform custom searches.
- Drag Link → Open links, copy link URLs, and more.
- Intuitive Customization: A clear, visual settings page allows you to customize gesture trail color, width, and action tooltips.
- Multi-language Support: Fully localized for Simplified Chinese, English, and other major languages.
- New User Guide: An interactive tutorial launches automatically after installation to help you master mouse gestures instantly.
