By

Although we could use gestures to navigate in earlier versions of Safari Mac OS X Lion shipped with Safari 5.1. The new version of Safari added a new two-fingered gesture for navigating through browser history.

The new two-fingered gestures are used to swipe back and forth in your browser history while you focus the mouse pointer on the Safari window.

If you want to go back and see prior browsing history just use to fingers and swipe from the right to the left. If you swipe from the left to the right you go forward in your browser history.

The new gestures include a new animation that makes the new page slide over the one you are currently viewing.
