- jbverschoor 5y agoI think that came during the period of Black & White by Lionhead Studios. (which was a milestone in using gestures to cast spells by swirly your mouse around)
- danielscrubs 5y agoThey where released within one month of each other.
- slightwinder 5y agoAnd Opera openly admitted that they copied B&W there, because they considered it a very useful feature. It even came in a sub-version, which at that time was somewhat unusual for such an important feature.
- joshuaissac 5y ago> right click drag left to go back, right click... swirl? to reload I still customise my Chrome and Firefox mouse gestures add-ons to work exactly this way, despite having long forgotten where those conventions originally came from. Other gestures I have, probably also from Opera: DL: Left tab RL: Right tab D: Page Down U: Page Up RLR: Close tab/window
- AfterShave 5y agoMouse gestures, right click scroll between tabs, closed tab history & current tab history. I thank Opera for showing me the way. Sadly the last two were killed off in Firefox in that last big add-on update. I didn't find anything that works since then.
- StavrosK 5y agoReload was up/down.
- tssva 5y agoAnd the reason I don't use Vivaldi today is that it doesn't support trackpad multitouch gestures.
- leokennis 5y agoI was an avid Opera user around 2004. True MDI interface, mouse gestures...come to think of it, that was the peak of my web browsing. Sure, my current browser supports the latest web standards that enable great things and sure, my internet speed is a lot higher. But just from a "browsing the web" perspective, Opera was the high point.
