| Wiitendo said: What is with you people and mouse gestures? ever other opera post has the word gestures in it. Would you like me to start naming FF and Safari's features? Then we will see how cool your mouse gestures are. |
FF DOES have gestures, as an add-on. And gestures are a great thing. Let me give you an idea of how I use my gestures:
I open a page like news.google.com. Now, if you're like me, you scan down through the page and select which stories you want to read. If you're doing non-tabbed browsing, you either have to right click and select open on the link, or you click on the link. Now, if you click on the link, then go back, the page may have changed and you may have missed another story you saw on there and wanted to read. Likewise, if you open it in another tab or another window and that is automatically brought to the foreground, you're going to read the story before switching back -- and the timer may have updated and refreshed the news again and you've lost it.
Now, bring in FF + Gestures. I right click and drag the link, which opens the story I want to read in a new tab, continue on down and select the next, and the next, and the next... (I do the same thing with forum threads). And then I start reading the first one. So those others are all loading while I'm reading, which makes things faster. When I click on the tab close, the next story I wanted to read automatically comes to the foreground.
It's a real timesaver. So don't knock it until you've tried it.
