You can use the the swipe gesture in Chrome to go back or forward on a page, just like in Safari for OS X. Use a two-finger swipe to the right to go to the previous page and a swipe to the left to go forward. You can disable the swipe function in Chrome with the following OS X Terminal command:
defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool FALSE
Revert to default setting:
defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool TRUE
Using chrome V. 31.0.1650.57 and OS X and 10.9 this litte script does not seem to work 🙁
Same versions as Tyler, same problem.
Still looking for a solution…
Any idea real people from the Internets ?
Chrome now hooks to OS’s native ‘scroll pages’ settings. You can change it in here:
System preferences > Trackpad > Swipe between pages
