Mile Wide Back — em_te

Turns the left edge of your browser window into a multi-purpose button for controlling your browser and navigating your tabs.

• Left click to navigate back
• Right click to navigate forward
• Middle-click to close the current tab
• Left click and right click simultaneously to open a new blank tab
• Rotate the mouse wheel to cycle through your tabs

Using Fitts Law, you can fling your wrist to the left of the screen without accuracy or coordination to reach the multi-purpose button. You could even do this blind-folded.

Your window needs to be maximized to work.

Unlike typical mouse gestures extension, this extension is more intuitive and faster to operate because it only requires one click. It does not require coordination between 2 fingers and it does not require the drag and drop gesture which requires 2 actions to be performed at the same time.

Permission Disclosure:

This extension asks for permission to "access your data from all websites" because it needs to be able to read when the mouse clicks on the left edge on the current webpage.
