User reviews

Fast Scroll is praised for effectively speeding up scrolling, simplicity, and being a helpful alternative for certain devices. Users appreciate its convenience and lack of slowdowns. However, multiple reviews note issues such as non-functionality on Linux (Ubuntu), necessity to refresh tabs or restart Chrome post-installation, breaking smooth scrolling especially on YouTube, and requiring activation per tab. Some users also highlight that it doesn't work on certain sites or testing environments.

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.

Fast Scroll requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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.
