User reviews

SmoothScroll is praised for significantly improving scrolling smoothness and user experience across most websites, especially on Windows. However, users frequently report issues with the extension not working during zoomed-in states, malfunctioning on popular sites like Telegram and YouTube Shorts, compatibility problems on Linux, and interfering with specific input functionalities. Additionally, some mention it stops working with newer Chrome versions. Despite these cons, many users find it a valuable alternative to Chrome's default scrolling behavior.

Great extension, been using it for a while now. However when I zoom in to 110% on any website, it suddenly stops working on that website, is that a bug?
