What is it?

A speed-customizable auto-scroll Google Chrome extension.

Why?

A lot of times I find myself reading long texfiles, and after a while, I kind of wish I could just read them as if they were a movie. I've tried with the mouse (middle click) thingy, but it's just not practical and adjusting the speed is very tricky - not to mention that a lot of times it's just too fast.

Features

This extension allows you to easily change the auto-scroll speed and save it in three different modes; slow, medium and fast. A single click will stop the auto-scrolling.

Note: Does not work in Google related websites.

User reviews

It's good for scrolling downwards. This needs the functionality to scroll upwards. Then this is a perfect extension.

Not the kind of auto scroll I assumed it was, but nevertheless, does what it says on the tin. I had a teacher who would encourage us students to use a bookmark or a ruler to force ourselves to read faster by keeping a steady pace, and this extension does the same. I was looking for a tool to just use middle mouse button to smoothly scroll around a page, but this tool wasn't quite it as it automatically continues auto-scrolling when you deactivate the scroll with middle mouse button. So all in all, this seems like more of an educational tool in my opinion, or a training tool. Still a wonderful piece of code, but not what I was looking for. 4/5 - could use a cursor indicator telling the user which state the extension is in, maybe a hotkey to toggle between the 3 speeds.
