Review summary

The 'Stop Slide Scrolling in Google Presentation' extension is highly praised for effectively preventing unintended slide changes, especially benefiting users with sensitive mouse setups. While it significantly enhances Google Slides usability and reduces frustration, some users have experienced issues with scrolling in other Google apps like Sheets and have noted that native Google Slides settings now offer similar functionality. The developer's quick response to problems and the extension's simplicity are additional highlights.

en 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"

en Simple and clean, works just as described, thank you!! However, the annoying behaviour still persists in presentation mode, could you maybe also address this in a future version? Pretty please?

en Who ever created this is a saint... and an environmentalist. This has kept me from throwing the mouse, computer, keyboard, desk, and chair across the room greatly reducing material destined for the landfill.
