Circle Mouse Gestures

This extension introduces convenient circle menu (so-called pie menu) to improve interaction with your browser. Just hold down the right mouse button, highlight one of the actions and release the button.

Circle menu recreates the way mouse gestures were represented in good old Opera 12 browser, and allows to clearly see all available gestures, with no need to remember them all. CMG is supposed to provide a better implementation of mouse gestures and drag gestures, while replacing the regular context menu at the same time — but regular context menu is always there whenever you need it. Perfect for fullscreen browsing!

Extension features:

• Regular actions, such as 'Go back', 'New tab', 'Scroll to top' etc.
• Separate gestures for links, images, input fields etc.
• Support for rocker gestures and mouse wheel gestures
• Supports horizontal wheel gestures - great on mouses with horizontal wheel, such as MX Master
• Support for trigger on long left click
• Great customization options - add actions levels, set their width and color for each action

Additional tools:

• Link preview (like in Safari on mac)
• Tab switcher (vertical/horizontal/grid), with ability to quickly switch, search and close tabs
• Bookmarks viewer (list/grid), with ability to search and open bookmarks
• Image viewer, with ability to view given image in fullscreen, zoom it and rotate
• Page shrinker, which adds horizontal space to page for easier reading on some websites
