SwipeHistory is a free Chrome add-on developed by Rasmus Johanson. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This add-on aims to emulate the touchpad browser history navigation found on MacBooks and Chromebooks using the vertical scroll function.

To use SwipeHistory, you need to enable the vertical scroll option in your touchpad settings. Without this, the extension will not function properly. The sensitivity of the navigation depends on various settings, including the operating system and touchpad drivers.

With SwipeHistory, users can navigate through their browser history by swiping vertically on the touchpad, mimicking the gesture-based navigation found on MacBooks and Chromebooks. This provides a convenient and intuitive way to move backward and forward through webpages without having to rely on traditional mouse or keyboard inputs.

Overall, SwipeHistory offers a simple and effective solution for users who prefer touchpad navigation and want to replicate the experience of using a MacBook or Chromebook on their Chrome browser.
