    My girlfriend does NOT use her mouse wheel to scroll web pages. It’s melting my brain.

      Page up, down, space, home, and end are WAY more responsive and faster.

      Problem is, some pages do funky things with keyboard inputs and/or focus odd elements. This basically shoots a 30-year-old page navigation standard in the head.

      Also, don’t get me started on apps crippling back-navigation.

        The one I absolutely loathe (maybe because I run into it more often) is them stealing when I press Ctrl+f to focus their page’s search textbox.

      Me neither, I grab the scrollbar and speed up/slow down as i’m scrolling through the page. Scroll wheel is 1 speed.

      I also disable smooth scrolling. When I do use the wheel, I hate it when I can see text move to a position and I have to wait for the animation to finish. Nah, I want it to move there instantly, not slowly but smoothly.
