Can disable as easily as Firefox -- chrome://flags/#smooth-scrolling
Actually, Firefox lately introduced a bug that will reset smooth scrolling everytime I remote desktop to my Windows machine. Which is annoying AF and they haven't fixed it for months.

> "Restore Previous Session" feature.
You can do it since.. forever?
Settings -> On Startup -> Continue where you left off
Or just press Ctrl+shift+T when you restart Chrome to restore it manually.
There are some more feature-rich session manager extensions, but they're usually available across Firefox and Chrome.

This only works on pages where extensions are enabled, and only after the extension is successfully activated, so about 30% failure rate for me. >Can disable as easily as Firefox -- chrome://flags/#smooth-scrolling This has not worked for me reliably, and the flag has been renamed several times. For example, on my Mac, it reads "Not available on your platform." >Actually, Firefox lately introduced a bug that will reset smooth scrolling everytime I remote desktop to my Windows machine.

I'm blessed to not have experienced this. >https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/set-character-encod https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/set-character-encod... Same as the other extension comment above, only works once extension activates successfully. >Settings -> On Startup -> Continue where you left off This is not the same feature.
- thrdbndndn 2y agoI use all the extensions I mentioned for years, claiming it has 30% failure rate is bullshit. They don't work on internal special pages, sure, but they work flawlessly on any "normal" webpages with close to zero load time. And no, disabling smooth scrolling works totally fine as I use it for more than 10 years. If you're going to exaggerate your points to make a statement instead actually trying to find solutions, I have nothing for you, then.
- michaelmrose 2y agoWhat is more likely that they are lying or it doesn't work as well in their configuration as yours? The good faith answer is that it is probably the latter.
- thrdbndndn 2y agoYes, it is more likely he pulled 30% number out of thin air, I'm confident about that.
- forgotmypw17 2y agoI did pull the number out of thin air, so let me replace that with "often enough to be annoying and make the browser unusable for me.
