It offers swift and brisk performance when compared to other web browsers. In contrast, it consumes many resources and sometimes buffers a lot, especially when you scroll website pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/assets\/imgs\/2022-07-21\/enabling-smooth-scrolling-chrome.jpeg\" alt=\"Enabling smooth scrolling in Chrome\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This indeed fades away the whole purpose behind using Chrome, as we rely on this web browser solely for its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there\u2019s nothing to worry about as plenty of methods enable <strong>Chrome Smooth scrolling<\/strong>. In this article, you\u2019ll learn what smooth scrolling in chrome is and how to enable smooth scrolling, and how to disable it, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-smooth-scrolling-in-chrome%3F\">What Is Smooth Scrolling in Chrome?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smooth scrolling in Chrome is an excellent, relatively new feature that allows you to scroll and vertically navigate a website page smoothly and seamlessly. Scrolling websites sometimes get stagnant and slow for multiple reasons, and enabling Chrome\u2019s smooth scrolling option prevents it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only the mouse, but you can also use your keyboard to enable smooth scrolling. If you scroll down using the Page Down button on the keyboard, you won\u2019t directly jump down to the next page. Thus, you\u2019ll experience a much smoother, rather seamless scrolling performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Discover how to scroll lock on an HP laptop <a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/scroll-lock-hp-laptop\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-enable-or-disable-smooth-scrolling-in-google-chrome%3F\">How Do You Enable or Disable Smooth Scrolling In Google Chrome?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the basic step-by-step solution to enable smooth scrolling in Google Chrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Open Chrome web browser.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Go to the address bar, type <code>chrome:\/\/flags<\/code> without quotes, and then hit enter key on the keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/assets\/imgs\/2022-07-21\/enable-smooth-scrolling-chrome-step2.jpeg\" alt=\"Enabling smooth scrolling in Google Chrome - Step 2\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: Search for <em>&#8216;smooth scrolling\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/assets\/imgs\/2022-07-21\/enable-smooth-scrolling-chrome-step3.jpeg\" alt=\"Enabling smooth scrolling in Google Chrome - Step 3\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<p><strong>Step 4<\/strong>: Click on the button next to <em>\u2018smooth scrolling\u2019<\/em> then click on <em>\u2018Enabled\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/assets\/imgs\/2022-07-21\/enable-smooth-scrolling-chrome-step4.jpeg\" alt=\"Enabling smooth scrolling in Google Chrome - Step 4\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<p><strong>Step 5<\/strong>: Click on the <em>\u2018Relaunch Now\u2019<\/em> button at the bottom right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/assets\/imgs\/2022-07-21\/enable-smooth-scrolling-chrome-step5.jpeg\" alt=\"Enabling smooth scrolling in Google Chrome - Step 5\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-disable-smooth-scrolling-in-chrome%3F\">How Do You Disable Smooth Scrolling in Chrome?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s imperative to know that Chrome has the option of turning off smooth scrolling. However, many of you don\u2019t know about it as it\u2019s hidden on the experimental flags page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can access this page in the browser by loading <code>chrome:\/\/flags\/<\/code>. It displays experimental, not-ready features that are in the testing phase in the browser. As of now, it\u2019s unknown whether Google plans on adding this option to the UI preferences of the browser or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, to disable smooth scrolling in Chrome, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Type in <code>chrome:\/\/flags\/#smooth-scrolling<\/code> in Chrome\u2019s address bar and press Enter.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> To turn the feature off, click on the disable link. Then, click on a restart button to complete the process.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-articles%3A\">Related Articles:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/scroll-down-chromebook\/\">How To Scroll Down on Chromebook [2023]<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/scroll-down-macbook\/\">How To Scroll Down on MacBook Air &amp; Pro<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/scroll-apple-mouse\/\">How To Scroll with an Apple Mouse<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/scroll-click\/\">How to Scroll Click &#8211; Fast &amp; Easy [Guide For Beginners]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the step by step tutorial on how to use smooth scrolling to scroll on Chrome web browser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[16,17],"class_list":["post-5659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech","tag-design","tag-web"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5659"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16130,"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5659\/revisions\/16130"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
