So I've switched from Chrome, and half of my PC time is on an old Surface Pro 4 with no keyboard or mouse. In Chrome there is functionality to use gestures to navigate, so swiping right on a page would go back, and left would go forward. I tried enabling gestures in the settings, but it still did not work, and there appear to be no extensions to offer this functionality, and no hidden settings in flags. I also see posts as far back as 2014 asking about this feature

[Request] Open links in new tabOpera GX
I realize you can hold control or click middle mouse wheel or use the right click context menu to do this, -however- one of my main devices is a Surface Pro 4 with no keyboard/mouse (it broke a while ago and can't justify spending another $100 on a fairly outdated device). This means I have no middle mouse button or easy access to ctrl, and while I can use the right click menu, it is slow as there is a built in delay with touch and then I mis"click" a lot as the menus are fairly small. Not being able to set it to open in a new tab is the biggest feature I miss from switching from Chrome, as I often research things and just want to quickly open a bunch of links to sort through later, but this is nearly impossible on touch without this option. I have looked for an extension to do this but I could not find any in the extensions available. Please add this, touchscreen functionality is very important.
