Patch Browser Gesture Click Open in New Card

<<- Return to webOS Patches

Introduction

This patch allows you to Gesture-tap in the browser (place your thumb in the gesture area and tap on a link) to open the link in a new card. It's very intuitive and sort of like middle-clicking a link in the browser on your computer.
