Extension Metadata

About this extension
Tab Wheel Scroll lets you navigate between browser tabs using your mouse wheel — no clicking on the tab bar required.

How to use
  • Hold Alt and scroll up/down to switch tabs
  • or Hold the right mouse button and scroll up/down to switch tabs

Note: Your cursor must be positioned over the web page content (not over the tab bar itself).

Where it does not works

For security reasons, browsers restricts extensions on certain pages.
The scroll will skip:
  • Internal pages (e.g., settings)
  • Adddon Web Store pages.
  • Search results (e.g., Google Search) unless you have explicitly allowed the extension to access these pages in your browser settings.

On these tabs, the tab is skipped.
