Is there a trackpad gesture to switch between Chrome browser tabs? I understand there may be one for Safari.

  • This is not natively supported in OS X when using Chrome. As suggested below, use Better Touch Tool instead or the keyboard shortcuts (ctrl + tab or ⌘ + ⌥ + arrows) – thibmaek Apr 15 '15 at 20:03

You can use Better Touch Tool to assign custom gestures to any application. Here's an example how You this would look like in BTT (tip tap gestures to switch tabs):

  • Managed to get it work with BigSur after giving Accessibility permission + disabling `System Preferences > Trackpad > More gestures > Swipe between pages`. Although gesture detection is not as good as system built-in one. Too bad the browsers don't offer a built in customization way. – jakub.g Oct 14 '21 at 18:01

    BTW: since I'm new to MacOS I didn't know what TipTap was, [this page](https://www.viget.com/articles/trackpad-shortcuts/) illustrates it well – jakub.g Oct 14 '21 at 18:21
  • @jakub.g yea tip tap is specific to BTT, it's not macOS standard gesture. – Mateusz Szlosek Oct 14 '21 at 18:24
