Encantador para rehabilitar el scrollear en esas paginas web que te obligan a aceptar las cookies (y vender tus datos) o suscribirse a una mensualidad solo para leer un articulo. 1. Usa un adblocker para bloquear el popup de suscribirse. 2. Usa Scrollbar Anywhere para poder desplazarte y ver todo el contenido.

Ohh, this is a funky take on autoscrolling! Really like the idea and execution, feels very responsive. With lack of better autoscrolling extensions for linux, this will definitely be my go to - might even become my preferred method for scrolling in windows as well.

Outstanding! Using it with grab-and-drag and it's a big help! Thanks! P.S.: Tried using it with Mouse Pinch-To-Zoom with both extensions activated on RMB, but of course Scrollbar Anywhere doesn't expect the page zoom to change while dragging(maybe use zoom-independent coordinates?), and it jumps to the wrong location after zooming. Hope it's an easy fix.
