Browser: back- and tab-change-gestures

Problem: Switching between different tab is difficult because it always needs the peek-gesture, adress-page, tab and then select. Same applies to closing tabs.

Sugestions: For Tab-Change: The flip-gesture seems to be unused when browsing, it could be used to flip between different open tabs. (I know, tabs aren't real tabs right now, but that is already covered in a different thread).

For Tab-Close: A tab could be closed by pressing the 'back-button' (after peeking in the bottom-menu). A different function on that place, when '<-' is greyed out would save some flicks (It could became an 'X'). As long as the tab has some steps back in the history left, it will go back, and when the history is empty the tab will be closed on next press. A 'long' press on '<-' should close the tab without needing to step back.

In generell, a dedicated 'back'-gesture would be nice. I can imagine a 'revert'-swipe like half a circle, but others may have better ideas.
