      For years there has been no support for navigation using touch.

      Now I just tried swiping back and forth with one finger. To my surprise, I was able to pull out some fancy side panes which are parts of this webpage. Whoop Whoop!
      Now, dear devs, please wire those events to forward/backward and let's call it a day. Your hidden side panes are cool, but easy touch navigation across every page out there would be much much cooler.

      @Gwen-Dragon I am not sure what You think might be a bug. I also made a suggestion. But maybe You can clarify:

      1. Is swiping back and forth with one finger in Vivaldi on a touch device meant to navigate back/forth?
      2. Are the fancy sidepanes on forum.vivaldi.net meant to be pulled out by swiping back and forth with one finger?

      The left and right side panes on the Forum are indeed triggered by swiping from the edges, and I have to admit I was originally surprised by this behaviour when I first discovered it as there's no obvious visual prompt that this feature exists.

      Also, a large number of Android apps with page-based navigation (not just browsers*) use side swiping for back and forward navigation - or such is my experience.

      *For example, I have an app for bus passes which goes back to the ticket select screen on a left-to-right swipe.
