How to disable the middle button scrolling in Chrome
Update 27 Jul 2020: It appears that the following extension is no longer in the Chrome Store. I still have it installed and it was not removed. I'm looking into whether I can find out more info...
For those interested, the entirety of the source for the extension is as follows. This may also work as a Tampermonkey user script.
var target; window.addEventListener('mousedown', function(mouseEvent) { if(mouseEvent.button != 1) return; target = mouseEvent.target; mouseEvent.preventDefault(); mouseEvent.stopPropagation(); }, true);
There's an extension named (incorrectly) "No Smooth Scrolling" which disables this:
