Spiroll

A new scrolling gesture. Hold control and spiral the mouse clockwise for down, counter-clockwise for up.

This extension was removed from Chrome Web Store on 2024-02-25

The goal of this project is to replace the traditional two-finger scrolling gesture system online. Disadvantages to this traditional gesture include a lack of long range accuracy. By this, we mean that in order to scroll to a specific place an unknown distance down the page, the user must “send” the page downward and hope to stop its scrolling at the correct point. With Spiroll, the user can scroll in one continuous, smooth motion to the exact desired point. In addition to this, Spiroll aims to remove the need for the constant “scroll, pick up hand, place at the top of the track pad, scroll again” algorithm by allowing for an infinitely long single 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.

Spiroll requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Spiroll may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
