The "peeking" you can do with the trackpad on a Mac when navigating backwards and forwards between pages is a must have for me in a browser. It's so nice in Safari, I use it hundreds of times a day. It's painful for me when I use other browsers that don't have this feature.

I do this with my Magic Trackpad on Linux as well, it's very nice.

Wait, how are you getting that on Linux?

If you're running Firefox with native Wayland support, multitouch trackpad gestures are working now.

Edit: I also found a Chrome extension that adds it: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/swipe-back/mkkcgaj...

Similarly, the "peeking" you can do with Look Up on URLs.
