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".
