v 2.0.0
Changelog
Fixed passive event listener issue
This extension disables the annoying zoom shortcut Ctrl + Mousewheel.
People who heavily use the Control key for changing tabs, opening links in new Tabs etc, the sudden zooming/unzooming of the page gets very irritating. This extension disables the shortcut in Chrome.
You can still use other extensions or settings for changing the zoom level.
Compatibility: It works only with Chrome. It fails in the Chromium-browser.

- (2022-10-01) Jorquin Bernays: youre a hero
- (2022-02-23) Alex Johnson: Unlike most extensions, this actually does exactly what it says it will do. Simple. Effective. I am 100x happier writing documents in Chrome now. I prefer this in-app solution much more than installing an application and using a script. Thank you very very much!!!
- (2021-05-15) Sheldon: Doesn't work
- (2021-04-28) modiX: Recent update broke pitch to zoom on the MBP, developer is not responsive.
- (2021-02-17) Josh Gilson: No longer works
- (2020-12-14) Philippe Lefebvre: It doesn't work
- (2020-03-14) Scot: Does nothing to stop the ctrl-mouse wheel zoom issue. Maybe it worked in the past, but it's completely useless now.
- (2020-03-07) Hari Das: This extension no longer works with the latest version of Chrome. Use "Disable Scroll Wheel Zoom" instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-scroll-wheel-zoom/mdpfkohgfpidohkakdbpmnngaocglmhl
- (2020-01-31) Rob Ca: As many others have said, it doesn't work anymore
- (2019-12-19) Nomentsoa Andrian.: As of December 19th 2019, this doesn't work anymore (Chrome Version 79.0.3945.88)
- (2019-11-23) Chris H.: If it used to work it no longer does, I just downloaded this followed all instructions to the letter and it does not work. I have no Idea why Chrome wont let us unmap or remap zoom when other popular browsers do, esp when so many other functions are tied to ctrl, I end up acidently zooming in multiple times a day!!!
- (2019-11-11) Jessica - JedderDi_322: Doesn't seem to work anymore. If it ever gets fixed... It would be great if it had an on/off option. Sometimes I like to use Ctrl+Mouse Wheel. Other times, I don't like it. So if this extension could be toggle-able somehow, that would be wonderful.
- (2019-08-28) Aaron: Doesn't work. Chrome 76.0.3809.100
- (2019-08-28) Georgi Kirilov: Stopped working
- (2019-07-19) Nomentsoa Andrian.: I once messed up a client's banner ad because I didn't notice my window was zoomed. This helped me not to worry about window zoom anymore. Thanks
- (2019-06-05) Melissa Valtameri: this used to work but no longer does
- (2019-06-03) Trasi Fisher: doesnt work for me. it constantly zooms in while im in the middle of things, very frustrating
- (2019-05-02) James T Kelley: Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work anymore with the latest Chrome. I enabled File URLs. I refreshed the tabs. I even tried restarting Chrome altogether. But scrolling still occurs. Luckily. I have NoSquint Plus installed, so I can just refresh the page if I accidentally scroll, and it will reset back to the NoSquint default. (NoSquint also tried to disable Ctrl-Mousewheel, but that no longer works, either.)
- (2019-04-27) Anthony Yang: doesn't work as of 27-Apr-19
- (2019-04-23) Wulf Solter: Great when it works (occasionally breaks due to Chrome updates)
- (2019-04-02) Branden Lee: Didn't accomplish anything. pages still randomly zoom in and out.
- (2019-04-02) Robbie Anderson: Not the hero we wanted, but the hero we needed 5 stars
- (2019-03-29) nathanebht: This was wonderful when it was working. Recently stopped working.

- (2019-03-21) Tuur Lievens: No longer works for me (v73 on Windows 10)
- (2019-03-13) Fermin Marcano: does not work
- (2019-02-02) Taehl: Mostly works in Chromium too.
- (2019-01-31) Bruno DUYE: THANKS ! This works amazingly Chromium / Linux Debian stretch
- (2018-11-12) Larrold Perkins: Doesn't work anymore
- (2018-10-23) Hugo Monteiro: Thank You!! You're the best!
- (2018-07-03) Jean Hopp: Delightful.
- (2018-05-21) Edmond Siu: This extension has positively improved my life.
- (2018-05-19) Kari Ikonen: Mandatory for both Opera and Chrome. Too bad that doesn't work always. I.e. when doing scroll of page via touchpad and changing tab with CTRL+TAB, then occasionally still triggers zoom.
- (2018-05-09) Gabriel Medina: seems to work just how I hoped it would. it prevents the touchpad-pinch-zoom, but it still works for other things like zooming in on pdfs and on google maps.
- (2018-04-20) Alex Ayars: Doesn't work, text still zooms in and out uncontrollably.
- (2018-04-18) Celeste Williams: I wish it still worked ;-; is frustrating now that it doesn't work anymore
- (2018-04-14) Juan Pablo Verdugo: no funciona
