Here's how to enable Mouse Gestures in Microsoft Edge.

i. Mouse Gestures in Microsoft Edge are a feature that allows you to perform certain actions and access various features faster by using your mouse. For example, you can go back or forward in your browsing history, reload or close a tab, open a new tab or window, and more, by holding down the right mouse button and moving your mouse in a specific direction or pattern.

To use Mouse Gestures in Microsoft Edge, you need to enable them first in the browser's settings. You can do this by following these steps:

- Open the browser's menu by clicking on the three dots at the top-right corner, and choose Settings from the context menu.
- Choose Appearance from the left sidebar, and turn on the toggle next to Enable Mouse Gesture.

Once you have enabled Mouse Gestures, you can use them by holding down the right mouse button and moving your mouse according to the gesture you want to perform. You can also customize the gestures and assign different actions to them in the browser's settings.

Here are some of the default gestures and their actions:
