Use Magic Trackpad 2 with Google Chrome

google-chromemagic-trackpad

I was wondering if there's a way to take advantage of the gestures of my new Magic Trackpad 2 while using Google Chrome on OS X El Capitan.

The force touch is completely useless there, and Chrome is the app I use most of the time when I'm at my desk 🙁

Thanks.

Chromium is working on :

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/44.0.2376.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Use a Macbook Pro or Macbook (2015) with an Apple Force Touch Trackpad 2. Click on a hyperlink, and push down (i.e. to trigger the second link)

What is the expected behavior? Apple has recently introduced new trackpads on their machines that have multiple levels of "click":

In Safari, when you click hard (Force Click) on a linked page, a popup window will appear, showing a preview of the hyperlinked page.

When you Force Click on a link image, the image will appear in a popup.
