>Scrolling through does.
Yet "smooth scrolling" is latency, and to most who are already used to scrolling, it is extremely unpleasant.
When one does scroll (i.e. move the viewport of a larger screen that's being presented through the inside of a window), it is because one wishes to already be seeing the target position.
Any latency through added animation destroys the illusion.
I quickly close any webpage that forces that strong discomfort upon me. And switch away from any application that does it against my wishes.
- jwells89 3y agoThough “smooth scrolling” that interpolates between detents is a considerably different creature than “smooth scrolling” that tracks touch and has inertia resulting from it. The former is like nails on a chalkboard whereas I find tracking/inertial scrolling quite pleasing with how it lets one use muscle memory to “fling” the page to a particular point with decent accuracy.
