Features & Capabilities

Yet Another Smooth Scrolling WE enhances your browsing by replacing the default mouse wheel and arrow key scrolling with a fully customizable smooth scrolling experience. If you find the standard step size for cursor keys too short or smooth scrolling laggy and unresponsive, this extension addresses those frustrations by providing a fluid, sensitive scroll that reacts appropriately to quick flicks and long scrolls on lengthy web pages.

The extension requires permission to access all website data to override scroll behavior effectively, ensuring it recognizes scrollable areas using the geometric data of websites. Open-source and transparent, you can review its source code on Bitbucket. Improve your web navigation with Yet Another Smooth Scrolling WE's precise and smooth scroll customization.

User Reviews

Users broadly praise Yet Another Smooth Scrolling WE for its strong customization and genuinely smoother scrolling compared to Firefox's default. Many reviews note instant performance and the ability to tailor feel (including iPad-like or Chrome-like sensations) via sliders. However, several users report issues with compatibility on newer Firefox builds, inconsistent behavior across sites or iframes, and occasional lag or delays. There are also bugs like anchors jumping or smooth scroll failing when holding the mouse, plus concerns about broad data access. Overall, it’s powerful but can be finicky and learning-curve heavy.

Provides noticeably smoother, more natural scrolling than the default Firefox experience
Works quickly/instantly and is generally reliable on many Firefox versions
Can tailor the feel to hardware and preferences (e.g., 'iPad-like' or 'Chrome-like' feel)

Cons

Compatibility issues with newer Firefox versions; some users report it stops working
Inconsistent behavior across websites/iframes; some pages have no movement or are laggy
Noticeable lag or latency, sometimes up to a full second
Bugs like anchors jumping when clicking links or smooth scroll failing when holding the mouse button
Privacy concerns: permission request to access data on all websites

Is Yet Another Smooth Scrolling WE 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.

Yet Another Smooth Scrolling WE requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
