You can find and customize these gestures by clicking on the menu named Mouse Gestures in the side navigation bar.

However, there are some more features like Super Drag which take your productivity even another level up. This helps in navigation through text displayed over on a webpage. Permission issues and alternatives As we already mentioned above that this extension is usually not recommended due to its permission hungry attributes, thankfully we have an alternative. It is called as CLEAN crxMouse here. It is yet another alternative Google Chrome extension which is not at all permission hungry and works as intended. It can be found over in the Chrome Web Store.
