Hmm, not sure. The first thing I do in Firefox is disable smooth scroll. And in a terminal I'm usually scrolling with pgup/pgdown or using search in a pager.

I also have a TamperMonkey script installed to prevent web sites from hooking the arrow keys to do smooth scrolling (or worse: navigate to another page). I'm sure there must be several out there but the one I use is: <https://github.com/isaacl/keycodeScript https://github.com/isaacl/keycodeScript> with PgUp/PgDn/Home/End (33, 34, 35, 36) added.

  Thank you very much!! I too find any kind of smooth scrolling very off putting, and was looking for this fix for a long time.

> Hmm, not sure. The first thing I do in Firefox is disable smooth scroll. On Edge I do the same with `edge://flags/#smooth-scrolling`, but I've found there're 2 separate usecases, one where smooth scrolling helps, and one where it doesn't, and a separate usecase where the scrollbar stands in the way: - when scrolling with page up/page down, whether on Edge or on a terminal scrollbuffer, the tactile feedback of which key is pressed, and how often, is enough to keep track of the position. the scrollbar provide extra hints - when scrolling with the mouse, the smooth scrolling provides all the information I need. the scrollbar only helps me know if I'm close to the bottom of the page - when not scrolling but reading, the scrollbar is redundant and distracting. I like the new UI hiding the scrollbar, because I can better concentrate on the text. Another flag I love in edge is `edge://flags#enable-force-dark` with `selective image inversion based on transparency and number of colors`: it gives perfect dark mode on every website, with no plugin needed!
