Tool to Limit Refresh Rate Spikes During Scrolling
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Frame drops while scrolling happen when a page's code keeps the browser busy, and an extension can't change how Chrome schedules that work. What you can do: keep graphics acceleration on, close heavy tabs, turn off extensions you don't need, and open Chrome's Task Manager (Shift+Esc on Windows) to find a tab using a lot of CPU. If it happens on every site, update your graphics driver.
