Key Features: Adjustable Speeds: Use the simple slider to choose from 10 different scrolling speeds to perfectly match your reading pace. Instant Start/Stop: Click "START (A)" to begin the smooth auto-scroll, and "STOP (B)" to instantly pause exactly where you are. Smart Error Handling: Safely detects restricted Chrome system pages or Web Store pages and alerts you, preventing script errors. Fun Retro UI: A visually striking, dark-mode friendly 8-bit interface that is lightweight and satisfying to use. Privacy, Security & Permissions Justification: activeTab & scripting Permissions: This extension requires these permissions strictly to inject the local JavaScript scrolling function (window.scrollBy) into the page you are currently viewing. The script only executes when you explicitly click the "START" button in the popup. 100% Offline Processing: This extension operates entirely offline. It does not connect to the internet or call any external APIs. Zero Data Collection: We do not track your browsing history, read the content of the pages you scroll, or collect any personal data. Your browsing activity remains completely private. How to Use: Pin the Arcade Auto Scroller icon to your Chrome toolbar. Open any long article or webpage you want to read. Click the icon to open the arcade controller popup. Adjust the speed slider to your liking. Click "START" to read hands-free, and "STOP" when you are done!
