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!

Extension safety

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 Browser Add-ons, 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 fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
