        So, I'm not sure, but I know how WebKit's scrolling feels and the app Dash feels like it's using WebKit. I could be wrong, but it does feel like it. If that's the case, the developer has also implemented a Chrome/Firefox-like swipe back animation which is great and better than what comes with WebKit.

        Just thought I'd share.

        When I use two fingers on the trackpad to swipe between pages, a slow and visually distracting swipe animation plays.

        I would like there to be an option to disable this animation and just snap between pages, like Vivaldi does:

        https://orionfeedback.org/assets/files/2025-03-04/1741104248-806206-orion-vs-vivaldi.m4v

        A user who finds this animation too slow (or choppy, if they are using an older Mac), or a non-neurotypical user who finds it too distracting, or a user with a vestibular disorder who finds the animation causes nausea, can turn it off, and have swipes just move between pages without the animation.

        While this can be worked around by using Cmd-Left and Cmd-Right, this is asking users who don't want the animation (including those who can't handle the animation due to being differently-abled) to keep switching between trackpad and keyboard.

        It is particularly annoying if I need to go back multiple pages at a time; it is much slower in Orion than in Vivaldi, because I have to wait for this cute-but-unnecessary animation.

        Orion should make animations such as this optional, without requiring me to disable animations across the whole of macOS by changing the system accessibility settings — the rest of the system's animations are fine for me, but Orion's are just Too Much.

        The ideal for me would be to have a swipe work exactly like pressing Cmd-Left — that goes straight back without visual faff.

            Yes please. Dealbreaker for me at the moment.

              I did see a suggestion that changing the page navigation gesture to a three-fingered swipe would fix this; unfortunately, that's not compatible with my existing settings (Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad Options; turn ON "Use trackpad for dragging" and set dragging style to "Three-Finger Drag").

              I wanted to mention that partly because very few people seem to know that option's there, and it makes things so much easier with a trackpad 😁
