Disable AutoScroll Extension

All this extension does is disable the middle-click \"AutoScroll\" feature so you don't accidentally activate it when trying to middle-click a link with your scroll-wheel to open a link in a new tab.

The screenshot is of the ENTIRE source-code, and it's all on GitHub as well.

Joseph Millenbach (ID: 0000001fed480088) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 Sad it requires an extension to do this. Thx for sharing!

Иван Горн (ID: 00000089c56c6284) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/12/2023 Работает не на всех страницах. Но идея прекрасная! Может если это расширение наберёт достаточно комментов, то программисты-дегенераты из Гугла, Макрософта и других компаний обратят внимание на свои ублюдские решения которые они навязывают пользователям в тоталитарном порядке. Я вот не знаю, кто-нибудь вообще видел хоть одного человека на планете земля, который бы пользовался этим идиотским автоскролом?

MurderChickenXL (ID: 00000017e3a54859) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/17/2023 Great concept, but it doesn't work AT ALL on some pages, such as the GOOGLE PAGE itself! Not even after reloading a page. And we shouldn't have reload every single page we are on for it to work. Hope the dev finds a workaround. Works on Youtube, ironically, which is run by Google. f I click on the icon and then click Disable Autoscroll, it just takes me to this page. Get rid of that stupid link. No one needs it!

Daniel AK (ID: 000000b36c733515) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/12/2023 Great but doesn't work until page fully loads, probably not fixable in a chrome extension and it's good enough for me.
