I've looked around a bit on the web, and so far see that both Chrome and Safari do not expose these events in the browser.

Touch events available in Safari?

Firefox does support something:

https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Mouse_gesture_events

But I don't see a lot of references to this.

I guess when only one browser supports it, it is a bit useless to use these kind of events.
