Quick question about Chrome

[noisyturtle]

Does anyone know how to activate smooth scrolling in Chrome? I cannot find the setting, but there's got to be one because that's like day 1 browser ability stuff.

I don't remember there being a setting on Windows - mine just smooth scrolls anyway (and it's gotten much better than it used to be).

On Mac it does not seem to smooth scroll.

It's easy with Firefox 30.0, it's so smooth it's like melted butter on toast, as it slides up or down (almost pornographically seductive)  .

Safari, ftw!
It supports gesture for back/foward, it has zoom via pinching and super smooth scrolling. The only reason I am considering Chrome now is because of Frenir's minimalist GH theme, but Safari FTW!

That's the issue, FF took a crap on me after the last update. Started crashing all the time and deleting my profile data, and because it erased most of my data I can't roll back to a previous version. Saved what I could and switched to Chrome.

I've used Chrome a lot before, probably an eaiser switch than to learn a new browser. Plus I really like some of the dev tools

Chrome doesn't have smooth scrolling by default if you mean what I think mean, however there are several different extensions to do the job.
Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller
SmoothScroll

And if you use vimium be sure to install
SmoothScroll Vimium

Yeah I suppose I'll just use an extension. I was just wondering if there was a built-in setting or hidden flags to activate it.


edit- yeah, chromium wheel works great

Nope sadly not.

I'm using a 144hz monitor and letting it go to waste on a laggy scroll made me angry. I think the extensions are the only way now - I don't understand why though, Internet Explorer has the most smooth scroll I've ever seen, why the heck doesn't chrome have something remotely similar?

[Larken]

there used to be a flag that could be enabled, but it was removed a few months ago. you'd have to go to an extension for that now.

WRONG. INTERNET EXPLORER FTW. IT IS VASTLY SUPERIOR TO SAFARI OR ANY APPLE PRODUCT.

I'm sure you are absolutely right - in your PC world.

Smooth Scrolling?     this is the most n00b thing I've heard all week...

What. Why?

I thought you were all into ergonomics and ****, nothing feels better on your eyes than smooth-scrolling on a high frame-rate monitor. Truth.

Smooth Scrolling was really awesome in the CRT days.. 

but TODAY, it's useless..  because you can't read anything while it's scrolling on LCDs.. Thus you're still making Saccades eye movements. (eyes jumping from object to object)

on CRT days, smooth motion allowed for "Smooth Pursuit" motion of the eye (reading WHILE scrolling), that was indeed a bit more relaxing for some..

But today with LCDs, the image trail makes reading small internet text impossible, which means smooth-scrolling is no better than vanilla scrolling..


Now... If you had a lightboost smooth motion LCD display.. That's different... if that's the case.. I'd recommend smooth -scrolling, because then you can replicate the heydays of CRT butteriness..


Alas color is still a problem on lightboosted monitors.. it's getting there though... I'm waiting for a larger one to come out..

I'd really like a 120hz 36" lightboosted panal...

I tried the 27",  it's too small for me...  at least 32"..

I'm using a 30" right now.. It's too small..

I was gonna say that it works great on my high refresh rate CRTs.

Its still valid 'cause I've yet to view a flat panel that's better than a CRT.

If I was a billionaire.. I'd bring back all the people from Sony CRT devision, and make FW9001..

42" CRT with True 4k resolution @ 200hz, Displayport + HDMI,  weighs 500LBS...




Also, I'm sure I'll need them to design a special table to hold up the device..


I know Toshiba Laservue is pretty much that, but no 200hz or 4k, hehe

[noisyturtle]

It would weigh a lot more than 500lbs. My friends parents had an early model 36" HD CRT that clocked in at almost 800lbs )

what? really?  that's not possible.. i guess it's possible but.. when did those things weigh 800

My PC world is the entire world. Over 99% of active home and commercial computers are PC's. Your "mac" is nothing but an overpriced PC running some weird operating system with a crappy internet browser.
