What is Gestura?

Gestura is a free browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox that controls your browser through movement: mouse gestures, super-drag, wheel and rocker gestures, and area selection. Instead of toolbar buttons and nested menus, a short hand movement is enough — go back, go forward, open a tab, start a search. Everything runs locally in your browser: no account, no e-mail, no tracking data. The source code is open (AGPL).

For power surfers If you juggle dozens of tabs every day, gestures save you hundreds of clicks.

For researchers Select text and look it up in your search engine of choice with a single gesture — no detour.

For the privacy-conscious No data collection, no account, open code — verifiable on GitHub.

Mouse gestures & gesture trail

Hold the right mouse button and draw a line — Gestura visibly traces the path and shows the recognized action in the middle of the screen. Every direction sequence can be freely assigned, and the trail's color and width are configurable.

Custom search engines

Any website with a search field can be set up as a search engine. Select text, run the gesture, get the result in a new tab. Find ready-made collections in the Gestura Index — or share your own.

Website menus

Custom context menus per website: the most important actions and destinations appear right where you're working. Menus are shareable — as a JSON export or through the Index.
