SmoothWheel: Interpolates Scroll Position Between Wheel Events

A browser extension for Firefox that reduces scrolling choppiness by interpolating scroll position between wheel events

What is SmoothWheel (AMO)?

SmoothWheel is an add-on for the Firefox web browser that aims to make scrolling smoother. It works by processing wheel events from the mouse and touchpad and interpolating the scroll position between them. This helps reduce choppiness when scrolling, especially on devices with high-resolution mice or touchpads that generate a lot of scroll events.

Some key features of SmoothWheel include:

  • Customizable scroll acceleration - Adjust how fast scrolling becomes based on the speed of wheel events
  • Smooth pixel-based scrolling - Scrolls webpage content in small increments for precision
  • Configurable scroll physics - Fine tune inertial scrolling behavior
  • Support for both vertical and horizontal scrolling
  • Open source and available free on Mozilla Add-ons site

By processing mouse wheel events at a lower level, SmoothWheel is able to override the default scrolling behavior in Firefox to provide a smoother experience. It aims to help improve webpage usability for people who find default scrolling laggy or choppy. The add-on works across different platforms like Windows, macOS and Linux.
