Overview

Swipe back is a simple extension that allows you to navigate back and forward in the browser history by swiping left or right on your touchpad.

On Ubuntu and maybe other Linux distributions, that run Gnome,
you can't navigate back and forward in the browser history by swiping left or right on your touchpad.

This is a feature that I really like and I missed it a lot, so I decided to create this extension.
