ScrollUtils

Turning it on

1. Open the ScrollUtils app and click Open Safari Extension Settings, or go to Safari, Settings, Extensions.
2. Tick ScrollUtils.
3. Allow it on the websites where you want to use it. Safari asks the first time.

In a Private Browsing window, Safari only runs extensions you allow there: tick Allow in Private Browsing in the same settings. If you use Safari profiles, turn ScrollUtils on in each one.

If scrolling doesn't start

• Check the pointer isn't on a link. A middle-click on a link opens it, as it always has.
• Check the page can scroll at all. On a page that fits the window there is nothing to move.
• Some sites use the middle button themselves, such as maps that pan with it. There the site's own behaviour wins.
• Inside an embedded frame, only that frame scrolls. A cookie banner in its own frame has nothing to scroll.
• Safari doesn't run extensions on its own pages, such as the start page and Settings.
• After updating ScrollUtils, reload any tabs that were already open.

If zoom doesn't work

Check that zoom is on in the ScrollUtils toolbar button and which key it uses, ⌘ or ⌥. One click of the wheel zooms one step. If your mouse zooms several steps at a time, move Zoom speed towards Slow. The key and a middle-click reset the page to actual size.
