If you hate this arrow as much as I do, then you want to disable it right away! Go to your terminal and run these commands:

{% highlight sh %}
defaults write com.google.Chrome AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool true
defaults write com.google.Chrome AppleEnableMouseSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool true
{% endhighlight %}

Then restart your Chrome and be happy.

### Before Mavericks
Before Mavericks this command was enought, but it does not work for your mouse in Mavericks, Yosemite and El Capitan.

{% highlight sh %}
defaults write com.google.Chrome AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool true
{% endhighlight %}

### Canary
For Canary you have to replace `com.google.Chrome` with `com.google.Chrome.canary`.
