Allows you to scroll the webpage no matter where the pointer is, as if the pointer was currently over the scrollbar.
Simply hold down the middle button anywhere on the webpage and move the mouse in any direction.
You can also go into the extension's settings page and change the direction of the scroll so that it behaves like touch devices.
As an optimization, if you hold down the middle button, move the mouse a little and then very quickly release the button, you can continue to scroll the webpage without needing to keep the mouse button pressed.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
