Fast Scroll is a tiny but very handy extension that allows you to scroll through web pages way faster.
NOTE: PLEASE REFRESH YOUR OPEN TABS AFTER THE INSTALLATION FOR THE EXTENSION TO WORK.
This small extension allows you to increase scroll speed on web pages either :
- by pressing a key of your choice between Left Alt (the default), Right Alt, Left Ctrl and Left Shift
- or without doing anything : scroll speed will always be increased, and you'll have the ability to decrease it temporarily by pressing one of the keys mentioned above
You'll also be able to configure the new scroll speed through the extension's Settings page.
Quite handy to scroll through long web pages or big documents quickly !

- (2022-02-02) Иван Иванов: The best of all. No slowdowns. Thanks for the opportunity to disable directly from the extension. Very convenient and simple.
- (2021-11-01) Sam: Awesome extension. This is a great alternative for those without the logitech hyper scroll wheel. If it's not working for you it's probably because you already had a page open when the extension was installed and you need to refresh it. And also you have to hold down the key whilst scrolling for it to work.
- (2021-10-20) Doge: I love the extension, although that it doesn't work on some sites for some reason and I want it to work on scroll speed test websites and it would be nice if you do that so please do that. If you do I will change the message and I will also change the rating to 5 stars.

- (2021-09-22) S7MLX: not working :(
- (2021-08-27) Annie Pickard: On Chromebook, needed to restart for it to work. For better or worse, have to activate it on each tab individually as well
- (2021-05-21) Rizal Boon (DualSoulArtz): Works quite well. Synergizes well with fast scroll similar to VSCode.
- (2021-04-26) tas bot: didnt work
- (2021-03-23) Sam: I use android apps on my Chromebook and some tasks are just absolutely HOPELESS without this extension. It's exactly what it says and it's amazing and is very helpful, especially for things your usually meant to use a touchscreen for.

- (2019-10-23) Pi Gun: I don't get it - I chose Left Shift for fast scroll but it speeded up my Up Down Arrow Keys scrolling instead and Left Shift button doesn't scroll whatsoever.
- (2019-08-14) It works great, but can you make the speed multiplier stay on the whole time? I'm trying to solve the issue of the horrible touchpad scroll speed on Chrome.. can't be changed by the mouse settings.
- (2018-11-28) Ruby: simple to use and very helpful to scroll faster if the page is too large
