This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off the swipe between pages "swipe navigation" feature in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.
You can navigate back and forward between your open pages history in a tab with a swipe gesture on a touch screen or touchpad by default in Microsoft Edge.
Here's How:
1 Open Microsoft Edge.
2 Click/tap on the Setting and more (Alt+F) 3 dots button, and click/tap on Settings. (see screenshot below)
3 Click/tap on Accessibility in the left pane. (see screenshot below)
If you do not see a left pane, then either click/tap on the 3 bars menu button towards the top left OR widen the horizontal borders of the Microsoft Edge window until you do.
4 Under Make Microsoft Edge easier to use, turn on (default) or off Swipe between pages for what you want.
That's it,
Shawn Brink
