Microsoft was Trying to get users to switch to its Edge browser for quite some time now, but this brand new feature just released for it might tip the odds in its favour.

Mouse gestures work by allowing you to perform a variety of actions when you move the mouse while holding the right-click button. The browser then marks these mouse paths with a hint of what action your gesture will trigger. Although you can customize gestures by navigating through the Settings menu, then Themes and Mouse Gestures, you can’t customize Shortcuts yet. We hope Microsoft will fix this in a future update.
Right now, mouse gestures are only available in Microsoft Edge 114 and later for Edge Beta, Dev, and Canary, though they’ll be coming to the Stable Channel soon. deskmodder It contains instructions on how to enable mouse gestures for Edge for now, until Microsoft launches it officially:
