Vitor Gonzaga 2025-10-03: Works perfectly for any sites, but I'm looking to improve my experience in chrome as a pdf viewer. Unfortunately, the same behavior on sites was not reproduce in pdfs visualization.
Alexis Ventre 2025-08-30: Should be a default feature.

NOCauseEffect 2025-01-09: The extension I’ve been waiting for years! I’ve tried all the other extensions, and they all have their fair share of issues. But this one is perfect in every way. I hope a Windows version will be developed.
Kevin Pudlo 2024-11-27: I use smooth-scrolling for showcasing websites. Between functionality, keybindings, and the options available, this is by far the best smooth-scrolling extension on the market.
Pino Flash 2024-10-27: i need faster

Arnold Black 2023-12-06: Does not work inside scrollable divs.
Jason Gomez 2023-11-15: Makes scrolling very slow on some websites (eg. imdb.com) so needs fixing. I use vimium as well, so I can just use J/K instead when this happens. Vimium is never slow. Also, I paid for the Pro version but I never got the key!

Ian Russell 2023-09-18: Here is an extension to add a middle man between you and the arrow key... which already scrolls the site. Why.

Frykauf La Kosta 2021-04-26: 10/10 ACTUALLY SMOOTH scrolling. Other extensions may have more support for more input devices, but they don't actually have smooth scrolling. They just modify the already existing browser scrolling to be different, without actually giving you smoother scrolling experience. I'm considering paying the $3 for more ergonomic vim like scrolling and the "disable mouse hover effect while scrolling" feature for just even little bit better experience then the already awesome experience you already get for free. I do hope the guy will put it back on github to be able to request features. Because this extensions is just amazing. - like ability to scroll by more than 30 pixels (alt+up/down fast scrolling) more input devices (like touchpad & mousewheel)

Vvmopz 2020-03-30: Pretty nice extension. There don't seem to be many smooth scrolling extensions that actually scroll smoothly & this extension does. I like the fact that you can use the keypad to scroll, VERY ergonomic concept (although, I wish you could customize the buttons). Certain sites like youtube don't allow the functionality but it's also especially nice scrolling through images.

Anonymous 2019-07-01: Desperately needs the ability to disable on certain sites, otherwise seems functional
Chris Vydas 2019-05-24: Charging in excess of $90 for a premium features of a very mediocre extension is just pure greed and completely unjustified, good luck getting anyone to pay that. in addition this ext. had no effect in my android emulator with chrome installed. page scroll speed was the same no matter what settings were used. comon now people, don't pay for this trash Tomas Rojas, go one further and uninstall this junk
