User reviews

It doesnt work where you need it the most. Youtube!! It does work when I click on the background. But it does NOT work when I try to middle click on a video thumbnail (to open it in a new tab). Just an FYI, none of the other "stop smooth scrolling" extensions work, so I'm assuming it is a youtube thing.
