Scrolling left or right (two fingers) on the trackpad navigates pages and makes scrolling whiteboards, spreadsheets etc impossible while it risks losing unsaved data in apps. How do I stop the swipe navigation in Microsoft Edge (no scroll options in the flags menus, no option in accesibility).
EDIT: Note that neither "edge://settings/accessibility" or "edge://flags" have any option or toggle to stop this broken functionality.
Thanks

Hi! Please go here in Edge and disable finger navigation:
edge://settings/accessibilityAdditionally, If that toggle truly isn’t working (Settings > About Microsoft Edge), you can try the experimental setting: type edge://flags/#overscroll-history-navigation in Edge’s address bar and set “Overscroll history navigation” to Disabled
Sadly this doesnt work, these options do no exist in this Edge browser evrsion
Okay so finally fixed this after a lot of searching! Turns out you can turn this off in the device trackpad options, not the browser itself, this is a change implemented some time ago apparently.
For Mac (myself) this was in System Settings > Trackpad >`More Gestures > Swipe between pages (turn to off). Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply; I missed that you are in Mac, sorry for this, you are correct, in the Mac version, this is controlled by the OS, Edge doesn't have control over this.
