I shouldn’t have to adjust my grip on my phone to change the way I swipe to exit the website because that website decided to replace a commonly used functionality to make it more difficult to leave their website. I kid you not I almost didn’t see that button because my thumb was naturally placed in front of it.

There is already a way to make a gesture that navigates “previous” or “next” by swiping left or right. It is by swiping from the center of the screen outwards and it is how that website should have made that gesture work if they didn’t want to interfere with Android navigation gesture users.
