by Void, 6 years agoLatest update made it worse!
I've loved this addon for a long time, however (as other reviews have pointed out) the latest update changed the way it logs gestures and I find this far, far worse. I have a 'C' shape for closing a tab, if I draw this at my normal speed, it picks it up about 50% of the time. I keep finding myself doing actions I don't intend now because if the way it picks up gestures whereas it used to work so smoothly because each motion was logged, now it seems more loose and undefined, I do not enjoy it.
It's really sad to see this happen because I think it already worked very well, if I could revert to the previous version then I would do.
Please, I do hope that you can change it back or make the new method work a little better so I don't have to do everything really slowly, I prefered the super fast motions I could do before in a blur to do 10 things in a second and now I have to slow myself, it feels sluggish.
Sorry for the negative review, it's not what I'd like to do for an addon I've recommended to countless people since I got it.

posted 6 years agoWith version 3.0.4 there was an update of the matching algorithm. You can activate it in the settings. This should work better for you. See: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/releases/tag/v3.0.4

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tirumiru9_JP, 3 months agoGesturefy is freaking incredible! Huge thanks to the
dev! :)))))))))))))) It’s so much smoother and
honestly 10^24 times better than any other tool.
The best part? It’s NOT on that piece of trash
browser Chrome. In this world, it’s either Firefox
or garbage. Massive shoutout to Robbendebiene for
creating this masterpiece. You’re a lifesaver!

- Rated 5 out of 5by YuiStar, 4 months agoI searches something that works as great as the mouse gestures build into MS Edge. This extension does exactly that and even better! 5/5

- Rated 5 out of 5by nawwaf_juaid, 5 months agoGesturefy streamlines browsing with quick, customizable mouse gestures that feel natural fast. It’s clean, flexible, and makes everyday navigation noticeably smoother once the motions become instinctive.
