Chromebook touchscreen and roll 20 help

My group and I are going to be playing in person for the first time since the pandemic started this week and I was planning on using roll20 on my chromebook in tablet mode and letting people move their tokens on there. However, when I tried to test this, I found that I couldn't move tokens with the touch screen. When I try to pick up a token and move it to the right, the system interprets this as me trying to swipe to go back to the previous webpage. It works perfectly in laptop mode. I've googled around and have seen that this is not a new problem by any means, but I'm wondering if anyone has a fix or a workaround? I was really hoping to be able to use it this way.

I believe there is an extension that helps with this, though I've never been in a position to test. Touch20 . I've heard some anecdotes, but if it works for you and you post back here, I'm sure other users would find your report useful.
OMG Thank you! The extension works really well, at least for me. Doesn't seem like zooming in and out can be done with the pinch gesture, but that's easy to deal with. Just have to zoom using the tool bar on the left or the zoom slider on the right (although it doesn't slide super well, because it wants to move the map). This is exactly what I was looking for and I am thrilled to find out that it exists. Especially because I didn't see this in any of my google searching.
