Mouse gestures in Safari

Recently I switched from Opera to Safari, more precisely the Webkit nightlies. The main reason is the great 1Password password manager and form filler that takes care of all my logins and more so that I can be more secure on the web.

One of the main things I missed in Safari that I came to love in Opera are mouse gestures. I checked out the programs most often recommended, but they either didn’t work anymore or cost money now. Until I stumbled upon SafariGestures. It’s a SIMBL plugin (I use PlugSuite instead, either should work) and adds a menu item to your toolbar. From there you can set a plethora of preferences and customize it to your needs.

I actually prefer it over Opera’s mouse gestures; so far it’s been a good switch!

EDIT 4/2010: I have since switched to Chrome due to its speed and given up on mouse gestures. Safari with all the SIMBL plugins seemed just too slow.
