Extension summary

Back in the good old days, ctrl-mousewheel or alt-mousewheel scrolled the page in large (full page) increments. That was actually useful. Then someone had the genius idea of making that scale the page up or down. Not so useful in my humble opinion, so this plugin restores the "scroll faster" behavior.

User reviews

Isn't working as expected. Alt-wheel does nothing, Ctrl-wheel zooms in/out =(

This used to work nicely, but now (Chrome 74.0.3729.157 on Linux) it's zooming and scrolling at the same time (instead of just scrolling). A fix would be very welcome.
