# Linux Scroll Speed Fix
#### Download: [Chrome web store package](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/linux-scroll-speed-fix/mlboohjioameadaedfjcpemcaangkkbp)
## DESCRIPTION
Fixes the slow scroll speed in Chrome for Linux by emulating the Windows scroll speed when the extension detects Linux. When it detects Windows it will disable itself.
The extension also allows for custom scroll speed values in both Windows and Linux.
All settings are saved locally in the browser to not mess with syncing between different systems.
## FEATURES
- Automatic "similar-to-Windows" scroll speed in Linux.
- Custom scroll speed settings
- Settings are saved locally in the browser
## CHANGELOG

#### Version 1.7.0

#### Version 1.6.6

#### Version 1.6.3

#### Version 1.6.1
- Tab or tabs are now prompted to be refreshed if the plugin is disabled or enabled.
- Updated icons to match the color theme.
#### Version 1.6.0
- Refactored most of the code.
- CSS Scroll smoothing toggling no longer needs refresh of window.
- Minor bug fixes.
#### Version 1.5.3
- Added indicator for if the extension is enabled or not
- Changed so that the default behaviour in Windows (not custom) disables the extension.
- Added tooltip for smooth scrolling.
#### Version 1.5.2
- Reduced Chrome permissions needed
- Minor bug fix
#### Version 1.5.1
- iFrame security workaround
#### Version 1.5
- Fixed banners messing with smooth scroll disable behavior
## NOTES
iFrames from other domains will use default scroll speed due to security (same-origin-policy). There is to my knowledge nothing to be done about this without some clever rewrite that is currently above my head.
CSS smooth scroll behavior is disabled by default. To my knowledge, the true smooth scrolling seen in Windows and MacOS will only be available with real hardware acceleration. Google stated that this won't be avaible in Chrome for Linux. The future will tell.
Please report bugs with description and address to the site where you encountered it.

#### Settings
Default scroll speed values:
Linux = 1.9
Windows = 1.0 (extension is disabled by default)
MacOS = 1.0 (This needs testing!)

- (2023-10-08) Martin Nover: Thank you so much for this Extension! I am using Mint Cinnamon which does not have a scroll speed setting. I first tried an other browser extension which does not work with my Youtube volume mouse control. But your extension works flawlessly.

- (2023-01-23) Masahito S.: As of Chrome version 109 the scroll speed on Linux has FINALLY been fixed. Literally for years I couldn't live without this beautifully-simple and perfectly-functioning add-on. Now it can retire lamentedly. Thank you very much, developer, for providing us this piece of art.

- (2022-05-22) Dennis: I'm dual booting Pop_OS 22.04 and Windows 10. This is a nice quality of life extension that helps match the scroll speed across operating systems. I like how this extension auto-disables itself when it detects you're not on Linux. Simple, unobtrusive, functional.

- (2022-04-27) Rad Matic: Works very well. I would not have switched from Windows to Zorin Core without this extension and Input Remapper. Using it on 3 PCs with a variety of mice. And now that the requirement to login to Chrome after a start/restart has been fixed, I'm a happy camper.

- (2022-04-26) Daniel: Fixes slow mouse scroll, but in turn makes touchpad scrolling way to fast with no option to revert to normal other than disabling the extension, not even setting a 1.0 scroll factor fixes the touchpad speed. Will rate 5 stars when fixed.

- (2021-11-25) Justin Tan: Doesn't work as well as it should on standard Chrome, Fedora 35. The effect doesn't kick in every time, giving way for a rather distracting browsing experience. Lots of room for improvement there, I believe!
