I recently moved from Vivaldi to Firefox. I installed Gesturefy because I really missed Vivaldi's native mouse gestures, but I haven't been able to get on with the fact that Gesturefy cannot access internal browser pages, such as the Start Page or settings because of Mozilla's restrictions on extensions.

I installed Floorp a few days ago, specifically to get native gestures back. Unfortunately, I have found the gestures to be not nearly as reliable as Gesturefy: they work maybe 50% of the time in Floorp, when the same one in Gesturefy in Firefox would be recognised without fail. (Larger gestures - much bigger than I would like to draw them - seem to work a bit better, but even then it isn't very different. I've tried adjusting the sensitivity slider but I don't see any real difference.)

I realise this is a recent addition and perhaps a work in progress, but why reinvent the wheel? Gesturefy works really well and is open source. Instead of writing a new algorithm, why not either incorporate the Gesturefy code for gesture recognition or even just incorporate the Gesturefy extension entirely, allowing it to see the pages that it cannot access in Firefox? I understand from the changelog that the plugin has had special treatment in the past, now unfortunately removed.

In other respects, I've enjoyed using Floorp (Floorp Start and Workspaces, for example) and I'd love to stick with it, but reliable mouse gestures is a deal-breaker for me. Having to redraw the same shape two or three times even though the trail on the screen looks pretty identifiable to me, is endlessly frustrating, especially when I know there is a tool that works much better waiting to be reused.
