Every time I scroll through a webpage, the windows switcher applications shows up.

I have realized that the behaviour happens when I do horizontal move with my fingers instead of a vertical but it is too sensitive so it happens all the time.

How can I disable this action?

I would like to only scroll with my touchpad on the browser, and use only Alt+Tab to switch apps.

You have to disable horizontal scrolling.

Using dconf Editor:

  1. open dconf Editor through the Dash;
  2. go to org > gnome > settings-daemon > peripherals > touchpad;
  3. check horiz-scroll-enabled, as you see in the screenshot.

Enable horizontal scrolling

If you do not have dconf editor, you can install it by typing:

sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

    What does that have to do with window switching?
