How to disable swipe navigation on Edge for Mac
Like Chrome, Edge for Mac supports browser navigation by dragging horizontally with two fingers on the trackpad. I know how to turn this off in Chrome, but is it possible to turn this off in Edge? Bonus gratitude for a command-line solution.
I've tried, without success...
- to access
edge://flags/#overscroll-history-navigation
, which appears to have been removed - to deduce an equivalent of
defaults write com.google.Chrome AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool FALSE
- to find an equivalent of Windows 10's
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\EdgeUI\Allow Edge Swipe
Solution 1:
This appears to get the job done for me on Big Sur (11.2.3) with Microsoft Edge (89.0.774.57):
defaults write com.microsoft.edgemac AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool FALSE
Solution 2:
I found a solution in the trackpad settings. In System Preferences go to Trackpad > More Gestures. Then disable "Swipe between pages".
