Disable Scrolling Extension

Ever tried searching for a word in the current viewport, but the Find Bar takes you to \"random\" sections of the page, making you lose track of the section you were just reading?

Try using this chrome extension to temporarily disable scrolling of the current page before you use Find, so that you can stay where you are while Find searches all the instances for you.

* Note: please refresh any pre-existing tabs after installation.
