## Description

**Scroll Lock** is a handy Chrome extension designed to disable scrolling on any webpage instantly. With a simple click on the plugin icon and selecting "Lock Scrolling," users can prevent unwanted page movement, especially useful when working with multiple screens.

This tool solves the common issue of accidental scrolling caused by unbounded mouse movement across monitors—perfect for scenarios like gaming where mousewheel use is critical while simultaneously watching videos or working on another screen.

The extension's lightweight design ensures seamless performance without affecting your browsing experience. Users are encouraged to check out and contribute to its development via the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/romaannaeem/scroll-lock-firefox).
