    Finally a two-finger history swipe that works on Linux (Pop!_OS).

    This is not at all working in windows 11.
  • by scytherswings, 3 years ago
    Thank you for writing this addon, it seems to work. Unfortunately for me, on a fresh windows 11 laptop it seems to take about 1-2 seconds after the swipe graphic shows up before it actually navigates back. I can't quite figure out what setting would cause this as it seems to be registering the gesture just fine.

    Super works exactly as it should. Extra star for allowing the user to set the time limits and sensitivity.

    I had to restart the browser for it to work and the delay after the swype is a bit too much, but I'm glad it works

    Thank you for your feedback. We just did a complete rework. Now there is a new setting that you can use to tweak how your browser jumps back and forth.

    Really need this plugin after switching from Mac OS to Windows and finding out Firefox doesn't do this natively for some stupid reason on window.

    for the most part the plugin works well except it seems extremely sensitive. I often find that it will jump 2 - 3 pages back with one tiny swipe.

    I have turned the sensitivity and responsiveness all the way down and tried to configure it multiple ways and never can get it to stop jumping back so far. Not too sure what could cause this.

    Overall it's worth keeping though! Hopefully some of the bugs and kinks can get worked out in the future.

    Hey, thanks for the feedback!. I'm aware of the problem of multiple pages jumps, but honestly don't know exactly what part of the code to blame. Maybe it depends on the fact that the extension is activated too early on each page,... or that the "do nothing" timeout before jumping should be increased... The next time I can look into it I will run some tests. Anyway, thanks again.

    exactly what I needed as I already got used to how Chrome does the same thing, but forward swipe is not working as well, even with high sensitivity & timeout duration. Thank you so much

    Hi thank you for the feedback. Can you provide additional details about the problem you're mentioning about the forward swipe? For example, does the problem happen consistently on some specific pages? Can you describe the problem a little more?

    current review / response: 22 Nov '20 -
    The problem is not limited to just one site. I use Twitter, Instagram, Reddit & YouTube and it occurred everywhere. My sensitivity is 20 and timeout range is 2k ms. Only backward jumping worked.
    On another note, sometimes scrolling vertically also gets recognised as a horizontal swipe. At several points over the past few days I scrolled down and accidentally went back a bunch of pages. This may be on the extension's part and I may just have to change my sensitivity, although if I do opt to, it will not recognise any of my swipes. Again, thank you for responding.

    Hmmm, it should be theoretically possible to fix your second note - it is also something that happened to me a few times when I scrolled very long pages from awkward positions (i.e. lying in bed :-P). However, since the latest release, with the introduction of the feedback bar telling you how far you are from a jump, involontary jumps can be easily avoided. The size of the feedback bar can be customized in the settings, and I personally have it all the way up to the max size - that helps alot. However I think it shouldn't be a big deal to measure how far the vertical scroll is with respect to the horizontal one, and avoid jumping if the vertical scroll is bigger. Thanks for the feedback.

    With respect to the first issue you're mentioning, that I realize seems to be much worse, I have to run some tests because I never had a similar problem.

    Works pretty well. When using with Mac Precision touchpad driver (https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad) I set the sensibility to 2 and timeout to 150ms and it feels pretty good.

    Would be nice if the addon could ignore/reduce sensitivity of swipes when the cursor is hovering a horizontally scrollable iframe (or the entire window).

    It would also be good if the addon would detect the platform and disable when running on Mac (when using Firefox Sync across Mac and Windows the addons will sync and enable).

    This is really interesting feedback. Thanks. I will definitely take into account the second thing you're mentioning (disable on Mac). Regarding the first one (the horizontal scroll ignore) I still have to think how to handle that, and if it's actually feasible.

    Anyway, thank a lot for the feedback. I created two issues on Github

    Amazing with the touchpad!
    I would just hide it on the toolbar by default.

    Hi, thanks, for the feedback. Do you mean you'd like to hide the extension icon from the browser toolbar? If so, I don't know if that is actually possible, because anytime an extension is provided with a toolbar icon (it's called "browser action") the icon is automatically added by default. The only way to avoid that is to completely remove the icon for everyone, and that is something I'd rather not do because I personally use it to customize sensibility and timeout in different situations.

    Works pretty well! Needs an option for showing a left/right array on swipe for visual confirmation like you would get on Chrome OS / OS X. Thanks!
