                # Linux Scroll Speed Fix

#### Download: [Chrome web store package](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/linux-scroll-speed-fix/mlboohjioameadaedfjcpemcaangkkbp)

## DESCRIPTION
Fixes the slow scroll speed in Chrome for Linux by emulating the Windows scroll speed when the extension detects Linux. When it detects Windows it will disable itself.

The extension also allows for custom scroll speed values in both Windows and Linux. 

All settings are saved locally in the browser to not mess with syncing between different systems.

## FEATURES
- Automatic "similar-to-Windows" scroll speed in Linux.
- Custom scroll speed settings
- Settings are saved locally in the browser

- Tab or tabs are now prompted to be refreshed if the plugin is disabled or enabled.
- Updated icons to match the color theme.

#### Version 1.6.0

- CSS Scroll smoothing toggling no longer needs refresh of window.
- Minor bug fixes.

#### Version 1.5.3
- Added indicator for if the extension is enabled or not
- Changed so that the default behaviour in Windows (not custom) disables the extension.
- Added tooltip for smooth scrolling.

#### Version 1.5.2
- Reduced Chrome permissions needed
- Minor bug fix

#### Version 1.5.1
- iFrame security workaround

#### Version 1.5

## NOTES
iFrames from other domains will use default scroll speed due to security (same-origin-policy). There is to my knowledge nothing to be done about this without some clever rewrite that is currently above my head.

CSS smooth scroll behavior is disabled by default. To my knowledge, the true smooth scrolling seen in Windows and MacOS will only be available with real hardware acceleration. Google stated that this won't be avaible in Chrome for Linux. The future will tell.

Please report bugs with description and address to the site where you encountered it.

#### Settings

Default scroll speed values:

Linux = 1.9

Windows = 1.0 (extension is disabled by default)

MacOS = 1.0 (This needs testing!)
