We've all turned off trimURLs but what else is hiding in there?

Sounds fancy. What does that do?

You have to actually toggle to see it but IMO it massively improves how scrolling feels.

There are a few more scrolling-related options out there on the net if there's a particular "feel" you want to go for. https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Smoothfox.js provides a couple you can try out, and most of these custom scrolling options use msdPhysics as a baseline.

I just switched from Chrome today and I was wondering how to improve the scrolling (it felt heavy and slow). This setting seems to have worked wonders! Thanks!
