posted 4 years agoThanks for your kind review! Things like this always cheer me up.
Most of the bad reviews are due to the history of Gesturefy.
Version 1.0 got a lot of hate, because new add-ons could not (and still cannot) compete with the old/previous add-ons users were using before Firefox disabled the old extension API.
Other bad reviews for Version 3.0 are related to a decision I made moving away from 4 directions (up, down, right, left) to completely free drawn gestures. At the beginning of the release there was only one matching algorithm (strict) which some existing users didn't like.
I'm glad that most people none the less value free and open source software and adjust their expectations accordingly.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sln, 4 months agoIndispensible, have used it for years.
Only one flaw: Does not sync settings across devices. Only minor, but would be nice. - Rated 5 out of 5by oyy rofl, 4 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by yensama, 4 months agoHow do you run/activate other addon by using "Send message to other add-on"?
In Github there are 3 example but none show how to just run addon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Spiccico, 4 months agoSimply amazing. Just a small flaw: would it be possible to have a command to find text on the page (Ctrl+F)?

posted 4 months agoThanks, unfortunately add-ons do not have access to the browsers builtin search bar.
