Scroll Helper

A lightweight Chrome extension that adds customizable floating scroll buttons to every webpage.

Scroll Helper makes navigating long pages faster by letting you:

• ⬆ Jump to the top
• ⬇ Jump to the bottom
• Scroll to specific text
• Scroll to custom percentages
• Disable the buttons when not in need

It automatically detects the active scrollable area, making it work on both traditional websites and modern web applications.

Features

Default Scroll

The default mode behaves like traditional scroll buttons.

• ↑ Scroll to the top of the page
• ↓ Scroll to the bottom of the page

---

Scroll to Text

Configure each button to jump to specific text on the page.

Example:

↑ Button → Introduction
↓ Button → Contact Us

The extension searches the page for the entered text and smoothly scrolls to the first matching result.

• Case-insensitive search
• Exact matches preferred
• Falls back to partial matches
• Displays a notification if no match is found

---

Scroll to Percentage

Jump to custom positions on the page.

Example:

↑ Button → 10%
↓ Button → 10%

This scrolls:

• ↑ to 10% from the top
• ↓ to 10% from the bottom

Hide Floating Buttons

Prefer a cleaner browsing experience?

Use the popup toggle to instantly hide or show the floating buttons.

Scroll Helper automatically detects the active scrollable element and works on websites such as:

• ChatGPT
• GitHub
• Gmail
• Notion
• Jira
• Reddit
• X (Twitter)
• and many more
