What is MiddleButtonScroll?

MiddleButtonScroll is a Chrome Extension aimed at enhancing the browsing experience by introducing Firefox-like autoscrolling to Chrome. It requires no setup, instantly adding the feature upon installation. This extension is compatible with Chrome 5.x and higher - both beta and dev branches. Its primary necessity is to run across all your pages to change the scroller, but it does not access or interfere with your data.

No setup necessary, it simply adds Firefox like autoscrolling to Chrome. The ability to tweak the sensitivity might come in a future version if it is requested.

Note: This plugin requires Chrome 5.x (beta or dev branch). There is a bug in the stable branch (4.x) that disables this plugin from working: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29826 - to upgrade, go to http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

Note: This plugin will tell you it needs to access "Your data on all websites". The plugin does not actually touch any of your data (the source is freely available below for those interested), but it does need to run on all of your pages. Unfortunately, there is no way to change the scroller on your pages otherwise. This URL explains the issue in more detail: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=30636989775092ba&hl=en

Note: this plugin along with all others are disabled on https://chrome.google.com (including this page) for security reasons. You'll have to test it somewhere else :)
