When playing chess.com, I use the right click and drag to make arrows for my future moves. Recently, whenever I right click and drag to make the arrows, it commands the browser to do things. Right click and drag right will make the page go forward, right click and drag left will make the page go back, etc etc. How do I turn off this gesture so that I can continue playing chess normally?

Hi @Declan Darmawan,

It looks like you have applied the new Edge feature, you can disable it via settings below:

  1. Open Edge and Navigate to edge://settings/appearance.
  2. Scroll down the page to the Customize browser section.
  3. Turn off the option Enable Mouse Gesture. Something like this:
