I do hope it's optional, I actually don't like smooth scrolling.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was no option in the preferences for it, but I'd imagine at the very least it will remain as a flag and/or the --disable-smooth-scrolling command line switch.

It's enabled by default in Canary (and likely Chromium too), but I can still disable it in chrome://flags for the time being. It's quite annoying - it'd be fine if it was more like IE/Edge's smooth scrolling, but I hate how slow it is (Firefox's too, actually). So I just leave it disabled.

It maybe down to your mouse if you think it is slow then as i am using a Logitech and it is lightning fast as always.

What's your problem with it? Have you tried creating an issue on their issue tracker about what's bugging you?

in linux it may act differently to windows but i do not like it, what i dont like about it, it doesnt open up in a New Tab Window Like Opera when you download in that browser.  but again i use Firefox mostly at the moment for Downloads .  ( download Manager's are better in firefox ) 

 

no i havent created a ticket about it

Smooth scrolling will be on by default in 49  https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/02/smooth-scrolling-in-chrome-49

 

" The old, stepped scrolling behavior is going away, and scrolling will be smooth by default! "

 

I assume they will still keep the flag around though.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.

      Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.

      By wingliston · Posted

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
