About this extension

Scroll Anywhere enables you to drag scrollbar with your middle (or right / left) mouse button without actually touching a scrollbar. Just hold the middle mouse button and move up-down or left-right. You can also change the behavior to simple "grab and drag" style.

Available also for your Thunderbird 78 email client!

Be aware:

left mouse button support is experimental feature - please report any issues to my support e-mail.
Linux users may want to enable "Don't block default button action" option in Options/Advanced - to enable 'Paste' with middle button again.
in some Linux versions you may need to disable "middlemouse.contentLoadURL" in "about:config" to avoid navigating to URL from clipboard when pressing middle mouse button

Release notes for 8.6

- added full Thunderbird support using new "composeScripts" and "messageDisplayScripts" API
- added scrolling for Google Sheets (this was crazy hard!)
- fixed bug where scrollbar settings were applied even on disabled domains / URLs
- added button to Popup window to temporarly show hidden scrollbars (if user has hidden scrollbars)
- testing area in Options page now looks more like testing area (stripes!)
- added performance optimization for super complex pages - if there is more than 10_000 elements on the page, cursor change will be disabled
- removed old XML code again, this time we handle XML as normal HTML (when possible), this will fix some broken XML pages
- fixed showing context menu when using scrolling with Right button and stopping scrolling with ESC key
- fixed broken Right click / Copy (bad context menu without copy) - basically text got un-selected when on right-click when user enables scrolling with Right and Left button
- fixed disabled icon (red) if page contains not-disabled frames (maybe those frames should be disabled as well?)
- added Slovak translations and fixed some grammar mistakes :)
