Everything you'd want from mouse gestures
Fast, lightweight and private. Works on every website.
Mouse gestures
Hold the right mouse button and draw. Go back, close or reopen tabs, reload, switch tabs and more, without aiming for tiny buttons.
Super drag
Drag a link, image or selected text to open it in a new tab, search for it, save an image or copy it. One flick instead of three clicks.
Wheel gestures
Hold the right button and scroll to flip through your tabs. Surprisingly addictive.
Your own gestures
Assign any of 30+ actions to any gesture, or draw a brand-new one. Pick simple 8-direction strokes or combo gestures.
Per-site gestures
Give a gesture a different job on one website, or turn gestures off where you don't want them, like in web apps or games.
Statistics
Optional: see how many gestures you use and how much time they save you. Counted only on your computer.
Default gestures
Hold the right mouse button and draw. Every gesture can be changed in the settings.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?+
Yes. All gestures, super drag, wheel gestures and custom gestures are free.
Does it collect my data?+
No. There is no tracking and no analytics, and nothing is sent to us or any other server. Statistics are optional and stay on your computer. Your settings are saved in your browser and, if browser sync is on, synced through your own browser account.
Why does it need access to all websites?+
Gestures have to work on every page you visit, so the extension needs to run on them. It only listens for mouse gestures and never reads or sends page content.
Why don't gestures work on some pages?+
Browsers don't allow any extension on their own pages, such as settings, the new tab page, the extension store and the built-in PDF viewer. Pages that were already open when you installed the extension need to be reloaded once.
How do I open the normal right-click menu?+
On Windows, just right-click without moving the mouse. On Mac and Linux, double-click the right mouse button.
Can I change the gestures?+
Yes. In the settings you can assign any action to any gesture, draw your own gestures, switch between combo and simple gestures, and adjust the sensitivity and the trail color.
