Removes annoying accidental slide scrolling behavior in Google Drive Presentations
This extension stops the annoying accidental slide scrolling behavior in Google Drive Presentations. Fixes a terribly irritating problem where Google Drive Presentations automatically jump to the next slide unexpectedly, usually as a result of using the non-scroll-indexed devices like Apple Magic Mouse.

- (2023-01-16) Justin Trout: This is actually an option in Google Slides preferences now. No need for a plugin, but it does what it says it is supposed to do. Just go to "Tools" > "Preferences" > toggle "Do not change slide focus on scroll"

- (2022-08-05) Andu Dimofte: Simple and clean, works just as described, thank you!! However, the annoying behaviour still persists in presentation mode, could you maybe also address this in a future version? Pretty please?
- (2022-04-13) You're a hero and saved me HOURS of frustration and embarrassment making and presenting google slides! Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

- (2022-02-18) Niles Plante: Who ever created this is a saint... and an environmentalist. This has kept me from throwing the mouse, computer, keyboard, desk, and chair across the room greatly reducing material destined for the landfill.

- (2022-01-14) Cody Reynolds: Like the other reviews, this extension is now unusable for day to day work in spreadsheets. Please revert the way it handled other sites to how it was before. 2/5 until fixed, 5/5 otherwise. EDIT: Quick response by the developer to fix this issue basically overnight. Back to 5/5
- (2022-01-13) Dave Phillips: This was great but as of today I have had to remove it as it has unfortunately just started stopping me scrolling on google sheets too.
- (2022-01-13) Chasity Strause: Why the change? This was a fantastic extension for Google Slides, but now it affects all Google Sheets. I can no longer scroll when this in on. It took me 20 minutes to figure out why me Google sheets were no longer allowing me to scroll (waste of my time).
- (2022-01-13) Ilse Normington: Was working great until today - now it's suddenly preventing me to use scroll in Google Sheets as well which is very annoying!
- (2022-01-05) Kyle Ross: Incredible! My last 9 hours of frustration with slides jumping while putting together a presentation for tomorrow is now solved! I just wish I searched for this 8 hours ago so I could have shaved off an hour of me jumping between slides inadvertently.
- (2021-12-07) S K: Works really well. No more sliding!
- (2021-11-15) Charlie Triplett: This did exactly what I wanted it to do: stops scrolling between slides on Google slides. Thank you!
- (2021-11-15) Robert Orzanna: Brilliant!

- (2021-08-08) Karimulla (Karim) Shaikh: This is the extension I've needed for so long, and I just discovered it. Works perfectly on my Mac (Big Sur). Thank you!!
- (2021-07-26) Daniel Moore: Fixed! Same problem though in Google Calendar!
- (2021-06-25) Philippe Cailloux: Thank you so very much. This works perfectly for me. I'm on Windows 10 using Google Presentation a lot. The issue was from using my Logitech mous MX Anywhere 2S (very high resolution with a very sensitive wheel option. It was almost impossible for me to use Google Presentation without deactivating the mouse wheel. Thanks again.
- (2021-06-25) Kyle Penn: saved a visit to my therapist, thank you
- (2021-06-25) Antonio Guijarro Flores: Thank you! :) So annoying...
- (2021-06-14) Eduardo Pontes: Wonderful, simple solution to an erratic, flabbergasting behaviour from Google Slides. This extension is a blessing!
- (2021-06-04) Eduardo Gutierrez: It does what it claims to do BUT... if you have the scroll reversed, as I do, it doesn't have an option for it. Please fix this!! It should (hopefully) be very simple to add this as an option. It's odd to change the scrolling behaviour for one single app. Other than that, good job!
- (2021-05-16) Donald Timpson: Works exactly as expected. Thank you.
- (2021-04-18) Andy Tilling: Perfect! Just perfect!
- (2021-02-11) James Oehring: Amazing! Thank you... This was driving me insane
- (2021-02-01) Tiffany Duening: Thank you so much for creating this. I'm so happy I could cry.
- (2021-01-18) Yana Safonova: A great solution for this annoying behavior.
- (2020-12-04) Michael Deluca: ummmmm.... that moment when you google search a sentence about what's annoying you today about your magic mouse and google slides and then THIS COMES UP... Seriously I can't even believe it took me this long to think about searching for a fix. I'm so glad I did, this was so fast and easy and it worked instantly. THANK YOU!! You beautiful human being.
- (2020-11-10) Austin Chen: Yo poggg finally something stops this stupid google slides feature
- (2020-10-25) Matt Zimmermann: Absolutely brilliant - I searched high and low in apple and google settings to figure this out and it took me too long to try searching the chrome store. Thank you!
- (2020-10-23) Jaime Andres Gutierrez Herrera: Thank you so much. Hero! This was very annoying for me!! Now, Im happy.
- (2020-10-16) Dave Stewart: OMG, I want to give you a hug! This is literally the biggest PITA problem when editing presentations. Why Google haven't sorted this themselves is completely beyond me... but thanks muchly!
- (2020-10-08) Peter Galadik: Thanks for this! Finally working with magic mouse in GD Slides is not painful!
