Does not work at all on Chrome on OSX. I can only scroll with the arrow keys. It also disables the back/forward gestures.
Works fine for me on Chrome OSX (17.0.963.79 and Lion 10.7.2 respectively)

#12I found this became even more awesome if you zoom out the max in your browser, turn on showing the scroll path and then go through the links. Try it!

#13This is oddly unsettling and a bit nauseating, at least scrolling through it with the trackpad. It's a cool effect, though.

#14My experience, in three parts:
1) JQuery scrolling this could be neat opens web page
2) OK, lets see this in action. Hits page down That seemed normal. Hits page down again Half the text of this part is outside the view port. Page down again Oh, now its all in frame. I don't really see whats going on here though. Hits page down again, nothing happens Well this is a bust. I can see you, little faux-scrollbar, why can't I go down and see the rest of the document. Clicks on scrollbar to drag it, nothing happens What the fuck little scrollbar? Refreshes page Hey, little scrollbar, you're working now!
3) lynx http://joelb.me/scrollpath/ Wow, much, much, better. Simple, and so much faster to read all the content (the entire page fits into an 80x26 terminal)!

Showing the path eases this feeling a lot, while accentuating the sensation of speed.

Thanks for the heads up!
Note to self: highlight scroll path to alleviate user feeling of nausea.. :)

#19The demo needs a background with a clearer pattern so you can see the path actually being followed. With just text and the dark background it just seems like a slideshow with transitions.

That was my first thought too:
