User reviews

Users overwhelmingly praise the extension for effectively stopping the frustrating automatic slide scrolling in Google Slides, especially benefiting Mac users and those with sensitive mice. It dramatically improves productivity and reduces user frustration. Some users note that the scrolling issue remains in presentation mode, and others report the extension causes problems by interfering with scrolling in Google Sheets. The developers respond quickly to fix such issues. Overall, it is considered a lifesaver, despite some limitations and potential redundancy with built-in Google Slides preferences.

Works flawlessly

This is actually an option in Google Slides preferences now. No need for a plugin, but it does what it says it is supposed to do. Just go to "Tools" > "Preferences" > toggle "Do not change slide focus on scroll"

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Stop Slide Scrolling in Google Presentation requires very minimum permissions.
