Thank you so much for creating this extension!!! It is so smooth now when I scroll with my arrow keys, more smooth than I thought possible, I just wish it worked on everything on my laptop not just when scrolling on Chrome.

It's super of good use to me. Excellent! Note: There is time when we need to use mouse click on the page in order to make this extension function
