Easy Scroll enhances your reading experience by enabling smooth, controlled scrolling on any webpage with just a key press. Designed to eliminate interruptions caused by abrupt or excessive scrolling, it allows you to scroll down a customizable portion of the page smoothly, preserving your reading flow and comprehension.

By default, pressing the RightArrow key scrolls down half of your viewport smoothly, but you can easily adjust the assigned key, scroll amount, and velocity in the preferences. This extension is perfect for readers who find regular scrolling methods like Spacebar or Mouse Wheel either too fast or too slow, providing a tailored, frustration-free way to browse articles and content online.

User reviews

Easy Scroll is praised for its customizable hotkeys and smooth scrolling capabilities, offering great help for users needing scroll alternatives. The interface for hotkey assignment is intuitive. However, multiple users report compatibility problems on older Windows versions and MacOS, bugs causing keyboard input issues, and limited functionality on PDFs or specific web content. Some features like scroll speed control or key assignments do not work consistently across devices. Overall, it is a useful extension but with several compatibility and functionality limitations.

Limited effectiveness of some features like millisecond control of scroll speed for some users.

The scroller of my new mouse broke and i didn't wish to buy again and so i saw this addon and it does my scrolling job perfectly. Being able to manually assign it keys that are nearby to keys i usually use, makes this so much easier.

Super cool. I just wish it would work on Youtube (comments). Or maybe I'm just stupid.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Easy Scroll requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
