Extension to Prevent Accidental Fast Scrolling | Bushe.co

If your mouse has an "unlocked free-spin" scroll wheel setting, bumping it slightly can send you rocketing to the footer of a webpage instantly. An extension built to definitively prevent accidental fast scrolling is Smooth Scrolling. By applying a stringent "Terminal Velocity" limiter within its physics engine, the extension mathematically caps how fast the DOM is allowed to move per second. No matter how aggressively the mouse hardware spins, the webpage remains in total control.
