Stop Slide Scrolling in Google Presentation Extension

This extension stops the annoying accidental slide scrolling behavior in Google Drive, including presentations, drawings, calendar, and more. Fixes a terribly irritating problem where Google Drive Presentations automatically jump to the next slide unexpectedly, usually as a result of using the non-scroll-indexed devices like Apple Magic Mouse.

The extension will need to request permissions to fix the issue.

Justin Trout (ID: 0000006e97568e87) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/16/2023 This is actually an option in Google Slides preferences now. No need for a plugin, but it does what it says it is supposed to do. Just go to "Tools" > "Preferences" > toggle "Do not change slide focus on scroll"

Andu Dimofte (ID: 0000002c3eb37c8a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/05/2022 Simple and clean, works just as described, thank you!! However, the annoying behaviour still persists in presentation mode, could you maybe also address this in a future version? Pretty please?
