🖱️ Smooth Scroll

A lightweight and efficient userscript that enhances scrolling behavior in web browsers by providing buttery-smooth scrolling for mouse wheel users while preserving native touchpad scrolling.

✨ Features

Intelligent Device Detection: Automatically distinguishes between mouse wheel and touchpad input
Adaptive Scroll Physics: Dynamic acceleration and smoothing based on scroll speed and context
High Performance: Optimized animation frame handling with refresh rate synchronization
Native Touchpad Support: Automatically falls back to native scrolling for touchpad users
Smart Element Detection: Identifies and handles scrollable elements correctly
Minimal Impact: No visual changes or interference with website layouts
Universal Compatibility: Works on most websites (with configurable exceptions)

⚙️ Technical Details

💡 Usage Notes

Best Used With

Mouse wheel scrolling
Regular web browsing
Long-form content
Infinite scroll pages

Not Recommended For

Gaming websites
Real-time applications
Precise scrolling tasks
Timeline scrubbing

🔧 Configuration

Default settings optimized for modern mice:

{
    smoothness: 0.8,        // Higher = smoother, but more latency
    acceleration: 0.25,     // Lower = more consistent speed
    minDelta: 0.5,         // Minimum scroll threshold
    maxRefreshRate: 144,   // Maximum FPS limit
    minRefreshRate: 30,    // Minimum FPS limit
    defaultRefreshRate: 60 // Fallback FPS
}

Standard overflow containers

⚠️ Known Limitations

May not work optimally on:
- WebGL heavy sites
- Custom scroll implementations
- Some single-page applications
- Sites with custom scroll handlers
Performance considerations:
- High refresh rate monitors may need tuning
- Very long pages might need additional optimization
- Some browsers may handle acceleration differently
