Chromium Wheel extension provides better, configurable scrolling for Google Chrome

Regardless of what browser their browser of choice is, many users consider a smooth scrolling add-on to be essential. For Firefox fans, Yet Another Smooth Scrolling Add-on is extremely popular. If you've been waiting for a remix to appear in the Google Chrome Extensions Gallery, you're in luck!

Recently added was the Chrome Wheel Smooth Scroller, which brings the same highly-configurable scrolling experience to Chrome.

Keyboard and mouse scrolling are configured separately to your taste, and you can tweak acceleration, smoothness, distance (step size) and even the top/bottom of page bounce effect. I'm not a fan of the latter, so I turned it off by popping a zero into the text box.

So far, CWSS seems every bit as good as its Firefox cousin. It may well need to be added to Sebastian's list of must-have Chrome extensions.
