Simple Autoscroll Extension

Ever want to read through an article without even touching a mouse or keyboard? Simple Autoscroll will help you with just that!

With Simple Autoscroll, you simply set how many pixels to scroll at set intervals, press \"Go\", and start reading! To stop the scrolling, simply click on the extension icon and the scrolling will cease.

Simple as that!

Tips:
- Want to scroll from the bottom to the top? Simply add a negative value into the \"Scroll X Pixels\" field.
- For a smooth scrolling experience, simple input lower values for both pixels and milliseconds. For example scrolling 1 pixel every 30 milliseconds provides a nice, smooth scrolling experience. increasing the millisecond count makes it slower.

Simple Autoscroll has not and never will never read any of your data and will only modify a page as needed to make autoscrolling work properly. Simple Autoscroll also does not make any network requests. Simple Autoscroll is an open-source extension. The source code is available on our GitHub page: https://github.com/danman113/simple-autoscrollv2

Note: Doesn't work on all websites.

UPDATE Version 2.0:
Simple Autoscroll V2 is now released!
* Extension Manifest V3 is now supported
* Your default settings are now synced to all of your devices!
* When selected, the new \"Loop\" option will make the page scroll back to the top once it reaches the bottom.

Version 2.01:
* Fixed a problem where scrolling would not stop

Version 2.2:
* Fixed an issue where many sites would not autoscroll
Version 2.3:
* Added a hotkey (Alt+J) to pause/resume scrolling. You can configure the hotkey on chrome://extensions/shortcuts
