      Where did the flag opera://flags/#extra-mouse-gestures go? Why add the option then remove it?

      I'd like to disable opening of links using mouse gestures. Too often it doesn't detect the link correctly. Case in point, the empty area at the top of Gmail opens random links from my speed dial.

        Flags are generally for things that are in testing or are only partially finished. That is why they are flags and not full on settings. They will come and go as you update the browser.

          As the flag's page says, they are experiments and once an experiment comes to an end, its flag is removed.

            Ok. So I guess now it's been integrated, and there's no way to disable it?
