Sorry for the frustration guys, this was not meant to be "something to lock people in". The rationale for doing this was to prevent macOS users from going back when scrolling the grid horizontally. I submitted a PR to remove this for now, in the future, we will implement a better solution that does not mess with the History API.

I'd keep it, I hate working on boxes and when I move left outside box I go back. THAT is the annoyance especially if I'm doing entry work. I'd always wondered WHY this happened.

I have mixed feelings about this feature actually. It's super handy and nice when browsing the Web while going through a lot of pages in a short amount of time. When using proper Web apps it's a total pain + sometimes the history API is not supported correctly so you lose the context entirely (which means you have to start from scratch in whatever app you are using).

Gestures in general should be something standard, cross platform / cross browser with a nice API exposed to JavaScript. However, I understand why it's not, they were a mess on Linux until very recently, it's all over the place on Windows, support depends on the hardware, they are not very intuitive, etc.
