## Description

Stops GitHub from auto-scrolling (Actions logs, PR diffs, etc.). User-initiated scrolling and clicking anchor links still work.

Tired of GitHub yanking you to the bottom of an Actions log every time a new
  line streams in? Or losing your place in a PR diff because new comments
  loaded? This extension fixes that.

WHAT IT DOES
  • Blocks programmatic auto-scrolling on every <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/18292d9c1899dd2b453ea9e3c1375587569f07a1d91694af6d865f8eab086cdb/http%3A//github.com" rel="nofollow">github.com</a> page
  • Disables browser scroll-anchoring so live-updating containers don't
    silently re-pin to the bottom
  • Stays out of the way: anchor links (#section), keyboard nav, and your
    own scroll wheel still work normally

EXTRA BUTTONS
  • Scroll-to-top — bottom-right floating button, appears when you've
    scrolled down
  • Scroll-to-bottom / live-follow — second bottom-right button. One click
    scrolls to the bottom; while active it follows new content as it streams.
    Click again or scroll up to stop following.

HOW IT WORKS
  The extension runs only on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/18292d9c1899dd2b453ea9e3c1375587569f07a1d91694af6d865f8eab086cdb/http%3A//github.com" rel="nofollow">github.com</a>. It patches the standard scroll
  APIs (scrollIntoView, scrollTo, scrollTop, etc.) so calls made by GitHub's
  own JavaScript get ignored — but the same calls triggered by your
  clicks, keys, or wheel events go through normally.

PRIVACY
  This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any data. No
  analytics, no tracking, no remote calls. All code runs locally in your
  browser.

PERMISSIONS
  • Access to <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/18292d9c1899dd2b453ea9e3c1375587569f07a1d91694af6d865f8eab086cdb/http%3A//github.com" rel="nofollow">github.com</a> and *.github.com — required to inject the
    scroll-blocking script. No other sites are touched.
