Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller

I'm using this with a 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator, which by default, in apps that don't natively support it, emulates the mouse wheel with the Rx axis, adding proportional speed control (the further you deflect the knob, the faster the "wheel" turns).

This gives me more fine-grained control, with less physical effort, than using the actual mouse wheel.
I'd call this an essential extension for 3D mouse users.

Note that you will need to disable the built-in Smooth Scrolling flag in edge://flags/ or chrome://flags/.

Here are the settings I'm using. These aren't some magical combination, just my first try at turning all of the knobs. I was trying to keep effort low, reduce "jumpiness", and get rid of the "bounce" at the page extents. They seem to work ok for me when 2D mouse wheel scrolling, as well - but your mileage may vary.

Step Size: 200
Smoothness(Forepart): 70.51
Smoothness: 61.84
Acceleration Sensitivity: 0
Acceleration by Travel Distance: OFF
Bouncy Edge: OFF

P.S. It doesn't work everywhere, like here in the chrome web store, or chrome settings. It has worked everywhere I needed it, so far.

Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller is the perfect smooth scrolling extension for Google Chrome. CWSS is seamless, does not degrade browser performance, provides complete user control over the scrolling process; resulting in perfectly smooth webpage scrolling. My scrolling options are:103,39.17,71.49,187 and 1.14.

The extension was so good, but recently in the new vivaldi 4.3 it gives a lot of artifacts, parts of the letters stay creating artifacts... so strange.
