The only swiping gesture heresy is that on Android both sides go back.

I don't begrudge it being overridden here since this is a demo, but ever since, like, way early Opera era, swiping to navigate is muscle memory for me, and I prefer it both on desktop and mobile/tablet. Much simpler than reaching for the button.

i was never attracted to the gattaca UX, it's a UI pre-crime.

reaching is muscle memory for me. buttons i like because i know what i'm getting, and what i'm getting can be many different things as buttons allow.

Glad you have the ability to set your own preferences, but I’m pretty sure most people are happy with this. Do you by chance spend a lot of time reading PDFs while angry?

Well, that’s because you don’t use it I guess!

I basically only swipe back. This aligns web pages with iOS nav stacks.

Like many changes, you originally hate it, then you get used to it, then you hate when it changes again.
