Trackpad on Mac or touchpad can act as a touch screen. Users only need to perform touch and swipe actions on Trackpad to be able to immediately open the items they need. However, sometimes the Trackpad causes trouble, as the web browser runs wildly when swiping.

With Macs, using Trackpad will give us a lot of convenience. You just need to perform simple operations, such as swipe right or left with 4 fingers to open Mission Control interface, zoom in or out on Trackpad to stretch the frame to the desired point, drag two fingers from Right edge on Trackpad to appear Notification Center.

For example, on Safari or other browsers, swipe 2 fingers on Trackpad to go back or go to the next page.
