No Mouse Wheel Zoom
Prevents Ctrl + Scroll zoom
What is No Mouse Wheel Zoom?
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.
