I am using Chrome in --app mode on my local server. This works fine and makes it look like a native app although it's all HTML. However, if the Mac user does a 2 finger swipe left, then Chrome navigates back and to the previous page which does not work well with the interaction model on that app. So:

Can I disable that somehow, maybe via parameter when starting Chrome?

I know this feature comes from OSX and can be disabled by changing the system wide settings of chrome by running this command:

defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool FALSE

However, this would also affect the user's other Chrome instances which he/she might not like. So can I either disable that for my instance (via parameter) or is there a Javascript solution to REALLY prevent a back function (not just auto forward again)?
