Features & Capabilities

ScrollAnywhere is a powerful Chrome extension that transforms how you navigate webpages. Instead of interacting directly with the scrollbar, simply press and hold the middle, right, or left mouse button anywhere on the page to scroll up, down, or sideways — mimicking the scrollbar functionality with ease.

The extension also supports "grab and drag" scrolling similar to touchscreen interactions, momentum auto-scrolling that lets you "throw" the page for faster navigation, and fully customizable scrollbars where you can change colors, thickness, or even hide them. Additional features include scrolling speed multipliers, custom scrolling cursors, options to auto-disable the extension on specified domains, and toggle support on keypress. ScrollAnywhere enhances your browsing experience with intuitive, flexible scrolling controls available across the web and even your Thunderbird email client.

Try it out and enjoy smoother, more natural scrolling without reaching for the scrollbar!

User Reviews

Users overwhelmingly praise ScrollAnywhere for making scrolling smoother, being high‑quality and repeatedly relied upon, and restoring useful scrolling behavior. The main downside reported by multiple reviewers is occasional reliability issues — it can stop working or need re‑enabling — and a minority of users report it appears non‑functional or confusing to use.

Pros

Smoother, improved scrolling — users repeatedly say it makes browsing and scrolling feel much better (including in VMs or when mouse-wheel is poor).
High quality and reliable — several reviews note they reinstall and reuse it on new machines and call it essential/indispensable.
Restores a useful scrolling behavior and is versatile — multiple users praise that it “works beautifully,” helps in places like slides, and provides a pleasant, old‑school UI.

Cons

Occasional reliability problems — multiple reports that the add‑on can stop working or requires re‑enabling (toolbar toggle) to function.
Some users experience non‑functional behavior or confusion — there are complaints that it appears not to work for some users or that usage isn’t immediately clear.

This extension is an incredible life-saver for a very specific issue on Linux. I have a touchscreen laptop running Fedora in the GNOME desktop environment, and a known issue in this setup is that digital styluses and pens will not scroll by default on any app by dragging the tip, and it will select text instead. Scrolling is the default behavior on Windows (or easily enabled through Windows Ink / tablet drivers) and my laptop's stylus was experiencing this issue when I used it on its integrated touchscreen. Enabling all the Left Button settings on the extension completely resolved the issue, and I can still double click on my stylus or hold Ctrl (both of these also settings in the extension) to select text as usual. I mainly use this laptop for college almost exclusively on Firefox, and I can finally use tablet mode, scroll through my textbooks, and take hand-written notes without issue. 100% recommend

Is ScrollAnywhere Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ScrollAnywhere requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

ScrollAnywhere has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
