Google Chrome back arrow touch screen

Question

On Google Chrome, can I stop from toggling the back arrow when I swipe to the right? When I swipe on the touch screen an arrow comes up on the left side and if I let go it takes me back a page as if I pressed the back arrow. This happens when I swipe for any reason, so it's bothering me when I'm trying to scroll through a video. I'm not even sure if this is a Chrome issue or Dell because I can't find anything in either settings. Please help me just turn this off if possible.

Open Google Chrome on your device. Type 'chrome://flags' in the address bar and press Enter. In the Chrome Experiments page that opens, you'll see a search box at the top. Type 'swipe' in the search box to quickly find the relevant flag. Look for the 'History navigation with gesture' flag. It should be set to 'Default' by default. Click on the drop-down menu next to the flag and select 'Disabled' from the available options. After selecting 'Disabled,' you'll see a notification at the bottom of the page asking you to relaunch Chrome. Click on the 'Relaunch' button to restart Chrome with the updated settings.
