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.

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.
