    I like features in both, but ButterScroll seems to work more reliably across a wider range of apps — including Microsoft Excel, where SmoothScroll struggles. The biggest reason I prefer ButterScroll is its pricing model: just a one-time $5 payment for a lifetime license, compared to SmoothScroll's $10 yearly subscription.

    • Super Scroll: smoother, more comfortable scrolling for your trackpad or mouse. Try it!
    • Hover Scroll: just hover the cursor near the top or bottom of a window and relax, no need to keep scrolling!
    • Auto Scro.

    Allows you to scroll any window or control by right clicking (RButton) and dragging the mouse. It works very similarly to the "Hand Tool" in Adobe products, such as Adobe PDF Reader.

    With this extension, you can customize smooth scrolling behavior.

    The extension is worth to use, if you are frustrated at:

    Step size for scrolling by the cursor keys is so short. A built-in smooth scrolling is somewhat less sensitive and laggy. When you flick a wheel so quick.
