Jesús Miguel Cruz Cana (ID: 000000f4e340f09f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/06/2024 Works most the time but a few times it does not initialize properly and reloading the page is required in order to fix the issue. My settings: Mouse Wheel - Step Size: 240 - Smoothness(Forepart): 25 - Smoothness: 65.00 - Acceleration Sensitivity: 100 Keyboard - Step Size: 240 - Smoothness(Forepart): 25 - Smoothness: 65.00 - Acceleration Sensitivity: 0.25 2024 update: Changed from 3/5 to 2/5 as it does not work properly for pages using CSS "scroll-behavior: smooth".

Allen Chen (ID: 00000077f4b712b3) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 generally performs nicely. much better than another competing extension called "SmoothScroll" ... BUT one thing REALLY ANNOYING is that when you already built up the acceleration in one direction and you suddenly scroll back the other direction, THE ACCELERATION DOESN'T STOP Meaning that the sudden stop you tried to perform WILL NOT actually break the momentum for scrolling past your intended target That is unnatural and goes against an obvious sceneario that the user surely encounter Having an acceleration without breaks is just trading one problem of tediously slow scrolling with another of uncontrolable chaos Although fortunately with the way of my setup the problem isn't that exaggerated *****BUT I do think a change in scroll direction to execute a brake in acceleration is a VERY crucial function for this type of tool***** I really wish the dev can see this and implement a fix

Melanto Nino (ID: 000000bee08d8466) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/26/2023 Very good! The extension now works again after its update from 25.0702023! Thanks a lot

Tecuta Alexandru (ID: 00000020259e0558) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/21/2023 Why did the developer update this extension if it used to work wonderfully? Did he know the proverb ”if it ain't broke, don't fix it”? After the last update, it scrolls badly. I tested on 2 of my devices. I managed to downgrade to an older version 2.0.6 that I found on the internet, since the version updated on 19 july 2023 is unusable. To all users who downgrade: after you activate developer mode in Chrome, please load the extension as unpacked or else, it will keep updating itself to the last version, which is unusable.
