Description from extension meta

This extension will stop autoscroll (aka smoothscroll) from activating on middle mouse click

Image from store No smooth scroll 2

Description from store (Note: The screenshot contains the full source code for this extension) You've spent 5 years of your life writing a complex piece of medical imaging software that makes extensive use of the middle mouse button. Suddenly, with only 6 months advance warning (that you ignored), the 'Smooth scrolling' setting in 'chrome://flags' was deactivated and no longer does anything. At about this time the old "No smooth scroll" extension stopped working as well. Bug reports pile up in the tracker... The phone starts to ring... Your medical image viewer is randomly scrolling around and the radiologists are using profanity to describe the usefulness of the software, clearly not in a good way :-) Much as you try, you can't palm this problem off to some other developer like you normally would... The suited men and women in the board room are starting to mumble and take quick frowny face glances in your direction. You need that middle mouse button to work. Right NOW. So you add a couple extra lines of code to a generic mouse down event listener and get back to playing minecraft over the network with some guys from the marketing department. Is that the end of the problem? No. No it isn't. You like using middle click to open random reddit links, stuff on facebook, youtube videos, but that smooth auto scroll thingy is still popping up and annoying you. So you decide to write your own extension. How hard could it be? Well, here it is. "No smooth scroll 2" This is functionally the same as the "No smooth scroll" extension in the store, I wrote this one because the other had stopped working for a short time. I wasn't sure if it was going to be fixed (turns out it was after a few weeks :-) If you have any issues, feel free to get in touch. [email protected] Please note that extensions are not permitted to function on the chrome webstore itself, you'll need to open a new tab and visit some other website for testing.

(2021-09-28) Alan Schneider: This extension disables the annoying middle-click smooth scrolling that 99% of Chrome users DO NOT want. It's completely obnoxious and user-hostile.
(2021-09-22) Max Uhsadel: great extension, does exactly what it promises.
(2021-09-22) Piotr: You sir, deserve Nobel prize for bringing peace to the Galaxy.
(2021-09-05) esgalmir: my god, this is brilliant
(2021-08-07) tim: Thank you. The middle click panning feature is very annoying, as I accidentally activate it a lot. The extension doesn't seem to work in the google store, so doesn't work on this review page, but does work on every other web page I have tried. Wish I had looked this extension up years ago.
(2021-07-19) Владимир W-master: Работает эта раздражающая функция отключена которой мало кто пользуется, больше оно на нервы всем действует, спасибо у меня все сработало, крестик автопрокрутки при нажатии средней кнопки наконец то исчез.
(2021-07-10) Inwoo Oh: must have extension if you are using trackpoint & w10wheel.net edit: it does not seem to fully prevent the cursor from entering smooth scroll mode, however even when smooth scroll is enabled it moves ever so slightly, it is not much of an issue
(2021-06-05) MrHumpity: What, like there's only 'One' extension that does this ? I can't believe everybody else uses the middle button to actually scroll unless they're looking at a huge map. 5 stars to you mate.
(2021-03-25) Andy Hong: I love the opening story in the description of this extension. I love the actual extension even more. It works exactly as expected — by disabling the incredibly annoying middle-click-automatic-scrolling feature, while still allowing other middle-button actions (e.g., open link in new tab, close tab, etc.). For anyone worried about the permissions required to run this extension, you can use your favorite method of viewing an extension's source code to verify that the complete code for this extension is represented in the picture shown on this extension's Chrome Web Store page.
(2021-03-05) Jorge Garcia: Thank you very much! This is one of the most useful extensions in the store, seriously. ^_^
(2021-02-19) Eliot Snoek: Why doesn't Chrome come with this option??? Love it!
(2020-10-17) Олег Соколов: Расширение работает.
(2020-10-16) Christopher Saunders: Works great. This was a maddening problem. Thank you for your effort to address it. Also, really appreciate the note about how to test (noting that the Chome webstore doesn't support Extensions.)
(2020-10-10) Noel Sanderson: It just works.
(2020-10-02) Zuneg: Thank you very much! This useless "feature" is one of the most irritating things that I've ever seen in web-browsers, especially with no native way to disable it.
(2020-08-24) fakel: Очень полезное расширение. 👍
(2020-08-17) Vladislav Ivashchenko: Не работает
(2020-08-01) Cazacu Vitalii: У меня не работает! DONT WORK
(2020-07-25) Malcolm Smith: Doesn't work with Chrome 84.0.4147.89 on Windows 10.
(2020-07-22) André Pereira: Thank for bringing some UX sanity to the most used browser. Toggle actions are a UX-Anti pattern.
(2020-07-15) Baby Eater: does not seem to work
(2020-07-04) Hallur Örn Guðjónsson: Thank you! Many hours have been wasted accidentally scrolling around pages randomly. This works completely as advertised. Installed. Relaunched. Voila. This incredibly stupid auto-scrolling feature is disabled. Now I can open up links in new tabs like crazy. My web surfing just became that much more efficient.
(2020-07-01) Константин: Super!
(2019-08-30) Travis Butchart: Simplicity at it's best to give us the needed functionality we deserve! Thank you!
(2018-06-13) haikubox: For the touching story alone, I give it five stars and install on every PC I own. Great stuff and thank you very much, Brendan!
(2018-06-12) Jon McGuire: It works. Great description, too. (I'm constantly amazed that a company as big and popular as Google can completely screw up the most basic UI/UX decisions -- then completely ignore the complaints for years on end.)
