Bug Description

The default right click method on touchpads should be with two fingers so you can right click without having to look at the touchpad. Modern laptops have supported this for a decade, modern OSes like macOS and ChromeOS default to it, and upstream GNOME has defaulted to it since version 3.28 in 2018.

This issue was fixed at the start of 2018 in bug 1699033, but then reverted again in: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-settings/18.10.8

Seb, would it be OK with you to remove the Ubuntu setting override?

Discussing this over chat there is a concern that changing the default will break corner clicking which might feel a regression to some users
