User reviews

This extension is best for Linux and Mac users wanting to scroll a web page by clicking the middle button of the mouse and the users who aren't able to scroll using the middle wheel. This extension is lightweight and fast. That's why I gave this extension a 5-star rating.

i cant use this

This is great; thank you for this! However, when I decrease the scroll speed, say to 75, and I also click "Scroll at the same speed (ignore mouse movement)," the speed reverts back to the default speed.
