Description from store
For users on Linux or Mac, the lack of autoscroll can be a big pain. This extension can help!
It supports both sticky and non-sticky scrolling, doesn't scroll on textareas or links, and even has settings to customize various aspects such as scroll speed.
To use it, press (or hold) the middle mouse button, then move the mouse to scroll the page. Alternatively, hold Ctrl/⌘ and press the left mouse button.
It won't work on every page, but it should work on most.
Known bugs:
● You need to refresh the site or restart Chrome before it'll work. You only need to do this once.
● Doesn't work on chrome:// URLs or the Chrome Web Store. It's restricted by Chrome for security reasons.

- (2024-08-06) Jeff Kang: This extension is amazing, and has 1-100 different speeds. Please update soon: "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." August 5 2024
- (2023-10-30) Ross Davidson: Doesn't work on many sites. E.g. https://craftcms.com/docs/3.x/installation.html
- (2023-10-25) Carl Jones: works perfectly for screen record videos!
- (2023-10-01) Dmitry Komarov: Cool but causes error "Hydration failed because the initial UI does not match what was rendered on the server: Did not expect server HTML to contain a <auto-scroll> in <html>." for React SSR. Please add timeout before initialization or wait for the proper event.
- (2023-09-11) da lin: 相当不错,MAC实现了滚屏。 AutoScroll是一个自动滚动网页的chrome插件。它支持粘滞和非粘滞滚动,不在文本区域或链接上滚动,甚至具有用于自定义各个方面(例如滚动速度)的设置。AutoScroll适用于“单页滚动网站”,要使用它,请按住鼠标中键,然后移动鼠标滚动页面。或者,按住Ctrl /⌘并按鼠标左键。它不会在每个页面上都起作用,但是应该在大多数页面上都可以起作用。
- (2023-08-24) Thalli Stitch: Works perfectly. only problem is that the icon doesn't become your mouse or follow it but other than that works perfectly fine.

- (2023-04-07) Tom D'Auria: I was looking for a way to use the middle click to scroll behavior from Windows on a Linux machine and this works exactly the way I expected. Great extension.
- (2023-03-18) Sir John: - Windows'tan Mac'e geçen kullanıcılara ilaç gibi. Bunsuz yaşanmaz. Teşekkürler. - It's like a pain killer to users switching from Windows to Mac. Can't live without it. Thanks for the Development team.
- (2023-03-03) Chen Markson: Only extension allowing me to vary the scrolling speed dynamically. The only problem is that somehow it does not register middle clicks of my mouse.
- (2023-01-23) Yunus Tasliel: Now my Macbook M1 Ventura has middle-button scrolling, thanks to you!
- (2023-01-16) Oleksandr Ivanchukov: Works like a charm on Fedora 36
- (2023-01-10) Hamed Intezaar: it is really work for me on windows 10 thank you so much
- (2022-12-11) Fahim Boukahel: Works very well . Thank you.
- (2022-12-01) Daniel: I really liked this extension at first, I was coming from windows to mac and the ability to autoscroll again was nice. However I've noticed a bug; on some webpages, after using the autoscroll feature and exiting (by clicking the mouse or scroll wheel) the scroll will jump about an inch further in the direction of scrolling. This bug is pretty jarring due to it's unpredictable nature; I couldn't find anything about it in the options or other reviews, if anyone knows a fix I'd be very appreciative.
- (2022-11-26) undefined: I came to Chrome from Firefox and hated how ugly is standard autoscroll is. Thanks to this extension it becomes even better than in Firefox because it has wonderful settings for the scroll sensivity. Absolutely must have.
- (2022-10-25) Bridgette Bryant: Worked perfectly on my Macbook once I figured out how to use it.
- (2022-10-03) Дарья К: Не работает.

- (2022-08-19) J Jones: doesn't work on discord on chrome was hoping for something to take me to the top of a discord channel without spending hours scrolling
- (2022-08-07) light gray: Stop using an Autoscroll extension on chromium based browsers on Linux or macOS Add this flag to your browser instead: --enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll Why? 1. Removes the need of an extension 2. Provides more performance
- (2022-08-05) Takkar Pulsar: finally working in linux
- (2022-08-04) Emil Teofanov: It works without a problem under ChromeOS / Chromebook. (I was a bit surprised that AutoScroll is not natively integrated in Chrome browser, under ChromeOS.) Thank you very much dear developer!
- (2022-07-12) Teh0nlyMessiaH: doesn't work on all page (im looking at you, this exact page we're on right now) but works on most other pages. hopefully they change the functionality of middle mouse when you have a browser open to do fast scroll instead of having a second way to paste or atleast an option in the menus to enable that
- (2022-06-25) RedHatDarrow: Procurei por tempos. Ótima extensão.
- (2022-06-09) C Martinez: It works on my 2020 iMac with 3rd party mouse. It doesn't work on this chrome page now, but it works on YouTube and other pages. I'm so glad I've found this!
- (2022-06-09) Nikhil Varma P: Doesnt work.
- (2022-05-27) Сергей Друзь: Doesn't working❗
- (2022-05-18) Soe Min Tun: work perfectly for me linuxmint 20.3 cinnamon
- (2022-04-28) гагик мартиросян: Лучший среди тех, что опробовал. Работает как заявлено разработчиком. В параметрах можно проставить свои цифры и выбрать предпочтительную скорость (по умолчанию дано 10). Моя оценка 5 звезд! Спасибо!
- (2022-04-26) RedSnt: Wow, so simple yet so powerful. Took me a little while to figure out what the settings meant and <5 px, >5 px, 20 spd seems to emulate the autoscroll I'm used to in Vivaldi @ Win10 while I'm currently on Vivaldi @ Linux. 5/5 - It just works. Todd Howard would be proud.
- (2022-03-21) Ankit Behera: Does not work. Totally useless
- (2022-02-08) J C: Make sure you RTFM before you jump to conclusions. It works for me. Running Linux Mint.
- (2021-12-27) Barack Lasagna: Scrolling is stuttering, specifically on Amazon.com. This happens on all computers with this extension. Does not do it without it.
- (2021-12-24) tellfile: I love this add on! It moves the screen up, down and sideways hands free at whatever speed I want! I use it with a trackball mouse and once the middle button is pushed and the little screen icon pops up, screen travel can then be controlled by just a slight movement of the track ball. I use it in Linux Mint. I don’t know why Chrome didn’t have something like this as a basic setting in their browser like FireFox.
- (2021-12-16) Amey Joshi: Very easy to use and stable....
- (2021-12-15) 于祥: 确实超好用,给我录屏提供了方便
- (2021-11-20) Ekstremedia: Exactly what I needed! Works perfectly, thanks.
- (2021-10-26) Kiara Grouwstra: I love this extension, but still have trouble getting it to work in reader mode.
- (2021-10-25) Patrick McLeod: Works for me on Mac. Just make sure to fully restart Chrome. Cmd + left click on the page and drag to start scrolling. Change the speed number in setting to adjust the speed.
- (2021-08-02) sophia chan: 可以自如的控制速度,很好。
- (2021-08-02) C慧: 可以自如的控制速度,很好。
- (2021-07-12) JustLeader: oh I love this, finally can use this thing again lol, Brave from snap on Manjaro GNOME

Hello. Have been enjoying your extension so far but encountered a problem. On sites that use css property "scroll-behavior: smooth" mouse wheel click scrolling doesn't work properly: it starts scrolling very very slow, and when you release the button it scrolls very quick. See this video: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/7110321?key=1f0b9fe8457eb34b9426cd39a023b711 To reproduce the issue: 1) Open any website 2) Open dev tools (ctrl+shift+i on most OS) 3) Select root element (HTML tag) in DOM tree 4) add "scroll-behavior: smooth;" to "element.style" 5) Click mouse wheel button somewhere on a page and move mouse up or down Expected behavior: page scrolls with speed defined in extension config Actual behavior: page scrolls very slow - (2021-10-25, v:4.10) Cort Curtis: Your instructions on how to use this extension
Your instructions on how to use this extension are gibberish under "basic" and "speed". How about giving instructions so the user can adjust the speed of the scrolling in simple terms? None of the checkmarks or input make any difference to the speed. This Chrome extension is useless. You should get your programmers to get into the shoes of the user. - (2021-06-29, v:4.10) epic gamer: How do i use it on trackpad?

what if i want the auto scroll to reach the bottom of the page and automatically starts scrolling up wards to the top and vice versa ?? Thank waiting for reply. - (2021-03-17, v:4.10) Fernando Perez: Middleclick no longer keeps scroll function active
I used to be able to middleclick once and the scroll icon would appear and I could scroll the page by moving my mouse up and down from that icon (without having to keep the middleclick pressed or pressing any new buttons). I found that turning on the CTRL+Click feature does keep the scroll icon in place after initiating the command. Oddly enough, on certain sites, the middleclick, release and scroll feature does work on certain sites, but on others, it does not (it functions as described above). In some instances, an icon doesn't even appear but I am able to scroll the page (albeit while holding down the middleclick button). - (2021-02-04, v:4.10) Anushka Gupta: handsfree

I'm finding that I am getting "stuttery" looking scrolled pages. Can you please recommend a way of getting a smoother auto scroll? I am assuming it's to do with the speed and how many pixels it's tying to scroll - is that right? Does a higher or lower number work better? Thank you. - (2020-09-11, v:4.10) Ryan McCampbell: Enable only on non-windows
I wonder if an option could be added to disable the extension on Windows since it is redundant, for people who have extensions synced between multiple OS's. Although it doesn't have much overhead and is mostly identical to the built-in behavior, I would still like to only use it on OS's that don't have it built-in. - (2020-08-11, v:4.10) Rbgo Web: Doesn't work with "Asciidoctor.js Live Preview"

opera browser had scroll speed which was exponential. you could add a checkbox for little move fine tuned scroll and easily speedup to light speed without exhausting the height of screen. this feature would feel the opposite of "Don't scroll faster than .... pixels" option. looking forward to see this feature - (2018-06-26, v:4.8) Tyler Neill: minimum page requirements
any idea what specifically is needed on a page for the extension to work? I use it all the time on professionally made sites, but I'm also curious to make my own simple pages to use in the browser with the scrolling.

I use this extension to disable auto-scroll after the last one I used stopped being distributed on chrome store. Right now I just set "Scroll if moving more than X pixels" to the size of my screen, which is fine but was just wondering if you could also make an option to just disable autoscroll completely and stop it from changing the mouse pointer to the scroll pointer. I simply find the feature annoying and would like it gone. - (2018-04-23, v:4.8) XtA km4p: Permissions
