- (2025-03-20) Terje Nesthus: Its a good one, makes me able to click and scroll in browser on debian. But default it sets it as right mouse button, right click suddently dont work anymore. Will probably be confusing for alot of users. I had to go to plugin options and select middle mouse button to get the functionality im used to from windows.
- (2024-06-09) Paul B.: Trying it again after many years, on Vivaldi, and preliminary testing is fantastic. I'm in drag to scroll mode, with the text exclusion, and it seems to work perfectly. Well executed and with plenty of options. Thanks much!

- (2024-01-25) RedSnt: Ohh, this is a funky take on autoscrolling! Really like the idea and execution, feels very responsive. With lack of better autoscrolling extensions for linux, this will definitely be my go to - might even become my preferred method for scrolling in windows as well.
- (2024-01-09) Adrian Demetrescu: Outstanding! Using it with grab-and-drag and it's a big help! Thanks! P.S.: Tried using it with Mouse Pinch-To-Zoom with both extensions activated on RMB, but of course Scrollbar Anywhere doesn't expect the page zoom to change while dragging(maybe use zoom-independent coordinates?), and it jumps to the wrong location after zooming. Hope it's an easy fix.

- (2023-03-21) A. J. McGinnis: Wish it worked, because the premise is awesome. Unfortunately the only page it actually works on is the 'Scrollbar Anywhere' options page-- it doesn't do a thing anywhere else.

- (2022-10-26) Bree Vwhyman: Sir // MAdam, This is an excellent extension that WEB BROWSERS should consider embedding into the design. They have already tried this with OVERLAY SCROLLBARS inside chrome://flags............but honestly? Overlay SB's does not really function all that well.......? i have a widescreen Laptop here , which is extremely common. There will be over 300 million of these Laptops and the display settings are all standard. When in OVERLAY SCROLLBARS and you take the mouse pointer to the RIGHT SCREEN SIDE edge nothing happens. You must then move the pointer tiny amounts inwards to get overlay scrollbars to appear......it's a terrible implementation of scrollbars by the browser company's ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If there was ONE addition that could help your installed extension it's giving "some sort of visual indication" to any Laptop user of HOW to actually scroll. How does a new user to the Laptop know *how* to scroll.... if THEY were not the person who installed your extension? Intuitively a regular laptop user would drag the pointer over to the RIGHT SCREEN SIDE and not find any scrollbar.........and so they would then move to the Laptop KEYBOARD ARROWS or page down. Could you create a method where-upon....... 1) WHEN THE USER PRESSED any "keyboard arrow key" to try to scroll the web page........ 2) As the user did (1 above) also A SCREEN MESSAGE APPEARED telling the user how to use the MOUSE to scoll by "holding down the mouse button and sliding the mouse" it's just a helper for NEW USERS of machines where those USERS have no idea your extension is installed.

- (2020-12-22) Askar Kalykov: (Had to install it again to write a review, which sucks). This extension blocked all my rightclick popups in chrome, that really sucks. I got to know this only after some days being frustrated by not being able to use any popup menus anywhere. Took me some time to figure out what extension does that. Not recommended to those who still want the full mouse, not half of it.

- (2020-09-04) Alexej Ismailov: Works well! Only problem might be interference with default OS keys like ctrl+clicking on mac actually triggers right click instead. And yeah, didn't work here while scrolling through reviews... which is kinda ironic :)

- (2019-03-05) AMAZINGG!! I use it all day every day. It's most useful when you don't want to kill your finger scrolling, you can even adjust the friction (well, I use default, BUT!). The only thing I miss is some (adjustable?) click/drag tolerance, quite often I drag instead of clicking (1 or 2 pixels). This would be better than "Don't drag when clicking on text" which I don't use (there are often websites text areas full of text).

- (2019-02-28) Works "almost" flawlessly. I'ts a shame that OS and Chrome doesn't have adequate scrolling built in.

- (2018-11-09) Sean C: This isn't a scrollbar anywhere... Because if your cursor is over an image or link it doesn't scroll. You have to move the cursor off of those things for it to work. So it kind of defeats the purpose for me, because if i have the move the cursor any way i might as well just use the browser scroll bar. So if the dev ever sees this, please add an option to enable scroll ANYWHERE. It would also be nice to have a consistent scroll speed option, because currently the scroll speed completely depends on how large/long the page is, so the speed varies from page to page.

- (2018-10-24) Hans Luijten: Works as advertised! Excellent! For MacOS users; if your right mouse button no longer seems to work within Chrome: Go to the "Scrollbar Anywhere" settings and set "Which button will you hold down to drag?" to "middle".
