1) Overview

Julaing Mouse Gestures lets you control web pages with right-click drag gestures.

You can use gestures for common browser actions such as navigating back or forward, switching tabs, scrolling, closing tabs, opening links, copying selected text, and saving images.

The extension also includes site-specific gestures for X and YouTube.

On X, you can move through the timeline, open replies and quotes, and save videos with gestures—without breaking your browsing flow.

More site-specific gestures are planned. Feedback and feature requests are welcome.

Gesture mappings can be customized from the Options page.
