Browser: pull to navigate [duplicate]
Hi,
- It would be nice to be able to navigate, to the previous or next page, by pulling to the left and right with the finger like it is done inside the menus in the OS.

Hi,
damourti
I've been using a gesture based browser called Dolphin on my Jolla, and I feel that the SailfishBrowser could implement a lot from that:
I agree. Here's my suggestion for how this could work:
Combined with the double-tap to unzoom action, this makes for some very neat history navigation I believe, even after having zoomed in (double-tap and drag right, vs. summoning the bottom-bar and pressing the back button). There should probably be a bit of friction when the edge is reached to avoid accidentally triggering the back/forward actions, though.
It could function like the pulley menu does today - when you reach the top of the list the pulley menu isn't activated in the same motion as the scroll - you have to release and pull again to activate the pulley menu. Same for when you reach the browser edge when panning - you just release and pull again to activate the back/forward action. Same functionality could be implemented for going back from other panning views, like zoomed in mail view.

Here's a good thread on making browser more geasture based: https://together.jolla.com/question/42425/feature-request-a-more-gesture-based-web-browser/

[Feature-request] Swirl gestures to zoom in/out in browser(like N900)
This, so much. Given how much swipes are a part of Sailfish, I was pretty surprised this wasn't the case already when I initially got my hands on the device.
If webpage is zoomed out to 100%, swipes/ left/right inside the window should browse the page history forward/backwar - Even that fruit company managed to implement this feature correctly for their browser for iOS7.
