That's the point of this library ?

It scroll up slowing, harmful to my eyes. I'd rather "teleport to the top" or quickly scroll to top on my own than watching the animation…

And I cannot cancel the scrolling in the middle of process if I accidentally click it.

Is there any way to tell Chrome not to make sound unless I explicitly want it? Maybe I have less tolerance than most people, but I just can't stand it when my computer makes unexpected noise.

Right click mute tab (i think it might be experimental)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I really hate them on iOS, because the system comes with back-to-top functionality so all these buttons are doing are looking ugly and covering part of the page. And don’t even get me started on when AMP breaks scrolling…

I just want to take a moment to give a shoutout to the Tweetbot devs, which expanded on iOS’ back-to-top functionality: Tapping the top of the page again takes you back to your scroll position! Incredibly useful for recovering from accidental taps, and I kind of wish iOS would copy it, since it happens more often than I’d like.

Interesting!

I always thought that re-scrollback was just a feature of iOS. I use it all the time in Apollo. But it doesn't seem to work in the Reminders app, nor the Notes app. Way to go Tweetbot and Apollo devs!

Your tolerance seems right to me. I've got a german chrome so menu names might not be correct. Options->Data protection and security

scroll all the way down to "content"->Additional content settings->Sound

Here you can do stuff.

I think other than being kitchy, the part I love the most is NO FRAMEWORK: plain js. No pre/mid/post/art-deco processor that turns 4 hours of work into 40 hours.

Yep, you're right. We immediately have to make a version that is made with at least two frameworks at once here!!
