Tool to Limit Refresh Rate Spikes During Scrolling
person Patrick Bushe · calendar_today April 10, 2026
Modern web environments often experience massive frame-rate drops when heavy Javascript blocks attempt to render concurrently with your wheel inputs. A phenomenal tool to strictly limit refresh rate spikes during fast scrolling is the Smooth Scrolling extension.

Because it shields the rendering cycle from Javascript bottlenecks, your reading pane glides with absolute consistency.
