Hi Guys,

Ever since I switched to lion I have been missing going back or forward in Chrome using multitouch gestures.

I found the same with Finder...cannot go 1 dir up using gestures

Anyone found a fix for this?

Edit:

Found fix :

Go to Trackpad in System Preferences, More Gestures tab, and change "Swipe Between Pages" to "Swipe with Two or Three fingers". This will also allow you to swipe back/forward in Firefox, the Finder, iPhoto and other apps again with a three finger swipe.
 
chrome multi touch crashes

Chrome seems to crash when I try to use the three fingers sweep.
In Safari it works fine
 
removed and restarted but still crashing when doing three fingers swipe...

Check this out if you want to use natural but it's not working in Chrome.
I think Chrome is going to fix it...because this solution works the best (for me) in Safari.

I too am getting crashes when trying to use three-finger gestures. I have fiddled with the trackpad settings and can't stop it from crashing. The best I could do is to use BetterTouchTool in agressive mode. The crashes still happen but not all the time.
 
A couple of other Chrome anomalies that I have noticed. In full screen mode you can't use the Escape key to exit. Also the scroll bars stay on/visible even when I have then set to only display when scolling.

Are you using the stable release of chrome? Or perhaps beta? I remember seeing a permanent scrollbar in one of those. The dev and canary releases have the standard lion scrollbar like other applications. The fullscreen button on the top right has been removed in these newer releases as in the older ones it did not implement the standard Lion way of dealing with fullscreen. Instead the button simply did what View -> Enter Full Screen would do. It will be added again once they have added the proper functionality.
 
Make sure you remove the original multiclutch input manager from /Library/InputManagers.

You are one genius. That fixed everything. Ever since I removed MultiClutch, I felt that it was still doing something. Removing that fixed the crashes. I am so happy right now.
 
Attempted terminal

defaults write com.google.Chrome AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool FALSE
