Click and drag anywhere to scroll the page.

What is Scrollbar Anywhere?

Scrollbar Anywhere is a Chrome extension that revolutionizes the use of a scrollbar. It gives users the ability to scroll pages as if the scrollbar was right under their pointer. Users can simply press the right mouse button (or any other of their choice) and move the mouse to scroll the page. This grab-and-drag style scrolling offers an innovative approach to navigating through pages. Regular updates and fixes enhance its adaptability to Chrome’s new versions. It also provides an option to set up a blacklist for disabling scrolling on certain domains.

Exactly what I was looking for and actually works. Thank you!

AMAZINGG!! I use it all day every day. It's most useful when you don't want to kill your finger scrolling, you can even adjust the friction (well, I use default, BUT!). The only thing I miss is some (adjustable?) click/drag tolerance, quite often I drag instead of clicking (1 or 2 pixels). This would be better than "Don't drag when clicking on text" which I don't use (there are often websites text areas full of text).

Works "almost" flawlessly. I'ts a shame that OS and Chrome doesn't have adequate scrolling built in.
