What I still miss. Maybe that could still be integrated? Mouse gestures to perform actions (See: Vivaldi browser) That would be very comfortable.
nice idea but can’t say it is too necessary
Once you get used to it, you do not want to miss it anymore. But you have to try “Vivaldi” …

Also Opera. By the way there are extensions…
I hope the responsible programmers will deal with it. But it is so that you have to use it for a while to get to know the benefits.
If you spend a lot of time in front of the PC, any relief is welcome.
@Demo,
Can you please call me such?
Some like CrxMouse Chrome™ Gestures or Smooth Gestures Plus but… the idea is to integrate gestures on this browser, yeah.

Thanks for the hint. Was it already developed in this direction ?
I think it’s not that easy and we’re better off with the external extensions, as mentioned (I use the crxMouse myself). If we have an extension Sync this would be an acceptable solution. E.g. on the Mac/Touch I don’t use them extensively so it would be the resource waste to put them inside by default.
HI, I have tested this one: CLEAN CrxMouse. It works well. I sincerely hope that such a feature will soon be integrated into Brave.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how such extensions are trustworthy. That’s why it would be great if such a feature were integrated in Brave.
As I also use Vivaldi, it happens again and again that I automatically use such gestures in Brave as well. - Until I realize that this does not work …
It would be very enjoyable (I’m probably not the only one who would be happy about that.), If you could do that someday.

Mouse gestures are great! I recommend taking a look at StrokesPlus.net. It gives you as many mouse gestures as you want - for all your system, not only the browser. Couldn’t live without it anymore.
I’d also like integrated mouse gestures. While extensions exist, they are much more likely to be untrustworthy, and/or an active privacy leak.
(e.g. compare the Chrome extension “crxMouse” with “CLEAN crxMouse”)

This is the only thing stopping me from switching to Brave. All of the Chrome mouse gesture extensions are terrible. Half of them track your activity, the other half are trojans, and none of them work reliably. Mouse gestures need to work 100% of the time. They need to be integrated into the browser to work properly, as with Vivaldi.
I need customizable mouse chord gestures also-- Vivaldi doesn’t have that, and that would get me to switch from Firefox, which does have a more-or-less working mouse gesture addon.

Is there any development going on on this? I see this has been a frequently asked feature for years. I’d really like to avoid using dodgy extensions…

Yes please : Integrate mause gestures fully into brave - like Vivaldi. But ALL gestures for every page

I definitely miss native mouse gesture support like in Yandex, Vivaldi etc. Internal mouse gestures work everywhere whereas the plugin solutions aren’t, bloat the browser and are a potential security risk. Just integrate the 4 basic gestures:
forward, back, close tab, open new and most users would be happy with it.

NONE of the available plugins gets near the accuracy & responsiveness of Vivaldi’s gestures. This is the sole reason I haven’t switched to Brave from Vivaldi. What a pity!!!

I totally agree to the thread starter. I love the Brave project and I already use the great new independent Brave Search Engine as Standard in Vivaldi. But I definitely stay with Vivaldi until Brave Browser supports NATIVE mouse gestures.

It is hard to understand why Brave users are deprived of this important feature ?
It would be long overdue.
That’s why I primarily use Vivaldi, apart from the fact that the Vivaldi browser still has some features worth imitating, the developers of Brave don’t seem to understand the necessity of the mouse gestures.
I constantly find myself making the usual gestures in Brave and then get annoyed every time that what I habitually expect doesn’t happen …
