Macos – Enable one finger swipe in Google Chrome on OS X Lion & Magic Mouse

gesturesgoogle-chromemacmacososx lion

Is there a way to use the one finger swipe gesture with the Apple Magic Mouse in Google Chrome as the back button, just like in Apple Safari 5.1? I know one can set OS X back to use the two finger swipe,and in this case it the gesture works fine in Chrome (and any other browser), but I would like to use the one two finger swipe in Chrome. I'm using the Chrome canary build.

The only thing I've found that fixes this issue is to disable the Use hardware acceleration when available setting in Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115 (Official Build) (64-bit) which is obviously NOT ideal.

EDIT: This has become broken again in Chrome since this question was posted and another answer mentioned it is fixed in Canary.

EDIT(2): This appears to be fixed once again in Version 60.0.3112.78 (Official Build) (64-bit) even after re-enabling the Use hardware acceleration when available option under advanced settings. I wonder if just toggling this setting off, relaunching the browser and then re-enabling the setting fixes this problem.
