Disable two-finger swipe gestures in Chrome

You can use the the swipe gesture in Chrome to go back or forward on a page, just like in Safari for OS X. Use a two-finger swipe to the right to go to the previous page and a swipe to the left to go forward. You can disable the swipe function in Chrome with the following OS X Terminal command: 

defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool FALSE

Revert to default setting:

defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool TRUE

  2. Same versions as Tyler, same problem.

    Still looking for a solution…

    Any idea real people from the Internets ?

  3. Chrome now hooks to OS’s native ‘scroll pages’ settings. You can change it in here:

    System preferences > Trackpad > Swipe between pages
