No Mouse Wheel Zoom

Prevents Ctrl + Scroll zoom

No Mouse Wheel Zoom - Stop Ctrl+Scroll Zooms in Chrome

No Mouse Wheel Zoom is a Chrome extension designed to disable the automatic page zooming that occurs when scrolling with the Control key pressed. This feature can be particularly annoying for users who frequently use the Control key for tasks like changing tabs or opening links in new tabs. With this extension, you can still change the zoom level through other extensions or settings, but the Ctrl+Scroll functionality will be disabled. Note: This extension is only compatible with Google Chrome.

This zooming in and out has been plaguing me forever when I use a remote keyboard with pc hooked up to tv. This plug-in still works as Jan '25. Nice!

Great extension, but will soon be disabled by Chrome due to changes to their Extension API. If anyone knows of a modern replacement, thatd be awesome

Works perfectly! FYI to those having trouble, reload your page first after installing the extension! Also, it won't work on the chrome web store (aka this page) so try any other page
