Thanks for making this! If you can, it would be awesome to have a sensitivity setting (perhaps a slider) that amplifies or attenuates the scrolling speed. At the moment it scrolls veeery slowly for me, even if I start the scroll action at the top of a page and take the cursor all the way to the bottom of the screen.

0. Garbage. May not turn on in one click. After it did at last, the reaction to mouse movements may be so delayed it doesn't seems to be working at all. And when you finally give up on getting it to scroll anywhere, and release the wheel, it starts scrolling chaotically, and won't stop until tab refresh. (Brave/Plasma 5.18.8)
