John Jung (ID: 0000002c7f7c7500) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/26/2020 Best scroller yet. I tried over a dozen over the last 10 years. One strength is that it hasn't gotten stuck on the way down. Some scrollers eventually run into a problem, stopping early. This one goes to the bottom no matter how long the page is. Excellent
