How do I stop chrome going back when i two finger swipe on trackpad?
Aug 7, 2020
Problem
I keep losing data in forms and the like, by accidentially trigging the browser to go back with a two finger swipe. this iis because three finger swipe is the way to change desktops, so its easy to misregister a finger and get a back.
solutions
Turn it off with a flag: Some places said to set a flag at “chrome://flags/#overscroll-history-navigation”. but this doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Turn if off with osx defaults
