Description

This extension adds customizable autoscroll support to Chrome.

For users on Linux or Mac, the lack of autoscroll can be a big pain. This extension can help!

It supports both sticky and non-sticky scrolling, doesn't scroll on textareas or links, and even has settings to customize various aspects such as scroll speed.

To use it, press (or hold) the middle mouse button, then move the mouse to scroll the page. Alternatively, hold Ctrl/⌘ and press the left mouse button.

It won't work on every page, but it should work on most.

Known bugs:

● You need to refresh the site or restart Chrome before it'll work. You only need to do this once.

● Doesn't work on chrome:// URLs or the Chrome Web Store. It's restricted by Chrome for security reasons.

Works pretty well but far from perfect. The options to work when you want to start the scroll from hyperlinks etc. does not work. However, I was glad to read a comment in a review here that mentions to start your chromium with these flags "--enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll --test-type" So, for me, my Vivaldi browser now starts with this shortcut: "/usr/bin/vivaldi-stable %U --enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll --test-type" and it seems to work fine, somewhat better than this addon, but still won't work if you accidently start from a hyperlink. (you can't always easily see what or where hyperlinks are in a page)

I have used this extension for a long time. I use Linux and has been faultless in the Brave Browser. Well done to the developer. Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie! 👍👍👍
