What is ScrollAnywhere?
ScrollAnywhere is a Chrome extension that revolutionizes your browsing experience by enabling you to scroll pages in 'drag and drop' style with middle, left, or right mouse buttons without touching the scrollbar. It also supports 'grab and drag' functionality similar to how you scroll on your phone. The extension offers customization such as cursor changes, speed adjustments, scrollbar thinning or color change. However, it's disabled on certain domains and Chrome-specific pages due to security measures.
