Please advise?

Yes, there is a trackpad gesture to switch between tabs in the new Safari. Pinch-in, with 2 fingers, as if you wanted to zoom out. I figured it out on accident. Hope this helps! Solved my problem!
You can use Better Touch Tool to assign quite crazy gestures/keyboard combinations to different actions. I just added tiptap-left and tiptap-right (tiptap is a gesture when you touch trackpad with one finger and tap it with another).
All you need to do is to choose desired gesture from the list and assign "Send Keyboard shortcut to specific application" action which should trigger "Ctrl+Tab" and "Ctrl+Shift+Tab" keyboard events.
thats for safari, google chrome still needs one
Using the app BetterTouch Tool, you can assign any gesture you want. What I personally did was turn off app expose in System Preferences, then assign the 4-finger swipe down gesture to Safari's CMD-Shift-\ (forward slash) which is the keyboard shortcut to see all tabs.
It works beautifully. I am assuming Chrome has a keyboard shortcut to view all tabs at once as well - I personally use Safari so I dont know for sure, but if it does, you can use BTT to assign it such.
in bettertouch tool configure global gesture ( ex. 3 finger swipe to left ) for the command ( command+shift+left arrow )
or ( 3 finger swipe to right ) for the command ( command+shift+right arrow ) to switch between the open tabs in any app.
This was exactly what i was looking for, thank you
