It's time to get better! Read our article about crxMouse and take the utility into service.

“There is no dead end, except death,” I thought after my colleague complained about the frailty of life because of the broken mouse wheel. Of course, scrolling through web pages has become a lot more difficult, but you can also try switching to key control using Vimium. And if it doesn't work out or you don't want to break your habits, then you should turn to the alternative - crxMouse. The extension allows you to fully work in Chrome by drawing gestures with the right mouse button pressed. The basic features of the utility are well described in the author's demo video.

But closing windows, going back to the page and scrolling are only the visible part of the iceberg. You are free to set your own combinations, and with a number of customizable options. For example, let's say you decide to open a specific address on a new page. The crxMouse utility will offer to load in a new tab or in the background tab, specify its location or switch to incognito mode. And there are many such examples, the settings are really diverse.
