Change Log: 1.9.0 - 21/04/2021

  • Fix initialization bug on Mac.
  • Remove cursor styling.
  • Update option text.

1.5.0 - 18/04/2021

  • Update option UI.
  • Update default behaviour for different operating systems.
  • Remove unnecessary permission request and republished.

1.4.0 - 18/10/2017

  • Fix issue with Chrome 61+.
  • Fix extension's auto reload mechanism when extension update. *Since emitting custom Wheel Event no longer has any effect on scrolling, the extension now falls back to update element.scrollTop & scrollLeft directly, which might cause layout issues with certain websites while scrolling. *As you might have noticed, this extension also no longer works with chrome's pdf reader. After an update some time ago, Chrome's pdf readers has started to run within a hidden internal extension window and there seems to be no way for other extension to manipulate scroll position of that window.

Features

  • Natural Sliding and Frictions.
  • Option page to change and preview settings.
  • Settings syncs across tabs.
  • Turn On and Off easily by clicking on Extension Icon.
