## Description

AutoScrolling is a handy Chrome extension that allows you to automatically scroll web pages vertically without using the mouse wheel. By simply clicking the toolbar icon, slow and smooth auto-scrolling begins, providing hands-free navigation. Clicking the icon again stops the scrolling, and switching tabs also automatically halts the action.

This tool is especially useful when multitasking or playing games while keeping an eye on social media sites like Twitter or Tumblr. AutoScrolling enhances your browsing experience by making content consumption easier and more convenient without manual scrolling.
