Back gesture on touchpad Windows 10

Opera supports Chromium extensions, so you should be able to install a gesture-based one as I have. I sadly don't remember which one I'm using, but the simple two-finger back and forth gesture option does exist on both my Mac and Windows versions of Opera after downloading an extension for it.

@thomasaldridge If you goto the URL opera://extensions when you have a chance, it'll tell you the name of the extension.

@weirdnemo Sorry for my delay, this extension is simply called "swipe-back" and is available on the Chrome Web Store since Opera is a Chromium-based browser. Here is the link below! It works greatly for me on all my Windows computers, enabling both previous and next swipe functionality like Chrome. Hope this helps you!

It would be nice to be able to have gestures for laptops and touchpads in Opera, for example, when, with two fingers, you drag left to right to go backwards or right to left to go forwards.

@aakifahamed Yes, indeed, there is this possibility, but it is much more convenient for laptops to use the touchpad since you use it for scrolling. With a simple gesture we could go backwards.

If you have the chance to change your Windows 10 trackpad gestures you should do that. It's the easiest way to change the back gestures.

I'm on windows 11, and it works very well, the only difference is that you have to use 3 fingers instead of 2.

On win11 you have to go to Settings --> Bluetooth and Devices --> Touchpad --> Advanced gestures --> change the 3 finger swype left and swype right gestures to "forward navigation" and "backward navigation"

@verseal True dude
It's 2023 now, gui of Opera is very good, I really want to use it.
it really now have many other good features.
just the 2 figures gesture is making me rethink whether to use this browser or not.

It's October,2023 and Opera still hasn't implemented back gesture. It's frusstating to use it without this feature as a laptop user. One of the main reasons why couldn't switch to opera from chrome.
