It won't work on every page, but it should work on most.

Just go into chrome://flags and enable "Middle button autoscroll". Much easier and is preferable to needing an extension.

Works pretty well but far from perfect. The options to work when you want to start the scroll from hyperlinks etc. does not work. However, I was glad to read a comment in a review here that mentions to start your chromium with these flags "--enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll --test-type" So, for me, my Vivaldi browser now starts with this shortcut: "/usr/bin/vivaldi-stable %U --enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll --test-type" and it seems to work fine, somewhat better than this addon, but still won't work if you accidently start from a hyperlink. (you can't always easily see what or where hyperlinks are in a page)

I have used this extension for a long time. I use Linux and has been faultless in the Brave Browser. Well done to the developer. Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie! 👍👍👍
