While I'd really enjoy a way to use "inside-swipes" for back/forward like in native apps, I'd feel the efforts to be wasted if it was only for two fingers. I'd never use it (but I only speak for myself Makeclick, I'm not saying everyone should think the same).

Actually, I'd use right to left gesture for "back" more often than I would for recentering my view on a zoomed in webpage. So I guess a not-so-satisfying-idea could be to swap the behaviors, and make back-cancel/forward-confirm the default actions for right to left and left to right inside-swipes, and replace the "back" button currently in the toolbar with a "pan & scan"-type ticker, which one would have to tick to disable default horizontal actions and move inside a zoomed in page.

Not sure it would be a really good option, I'm just throwing an idea to show off how much I would appreciate a proper way of using default Sailfish gestures for back-cancel and forward-confirm actions, consistency with the whole OS and the native apps would be awesome. But the ability to easily move inside a zoomed in page is clearly a very important feature, so I don't know yet what design could be ideal. I admit I have low hopes here, sadly.

[Edit] Hum, perhaps just enable back/forward gestures in the lower part of the screen? Let's say the lower third, including thickness of the toolbar? Perhaps with an almost transparent overlay (showing only when screen is touched) at a later point to make clear where the sensitive area is? That would be ideal to me, and in menus, cancel/confirm could be default for the horizontal gestures anyway.

Oh, and by the way, it's kind of related yet unrelated: do you plan on adding swirl move to zoom in/zoom out, like in N900's MicroB? This is probably the gesture I miss the most since I came to Harmattan, though it was a very good improvement gesture-wise. The Jolla is very large, and its plastics very slippery. Using one-handed pinch to zoom with a device like this is like playing that stupid S.M.T.H. (Send Me To Heaven) game in the store. And using the Jolla with two hands is often cumbersome given the OS is mostly designed for easy one-handed actions (of course this doesn't apply when used in landscape mode, but it's not the case 100 % of the time).

Are support of downloads and support of being set as the default browser in Sailfish (by editing the .desktop file, which I did) on the to-do list? A way to select text would be ideal too, can't totally rely on a browser if I can't use it to copy text.
