      Vivaldi, like Chrome, generally scrolls one text line at a time. Text-line-at-time scrolling produces an undesirably jerky scrolling motion. Firefox, on the other hand, scrolls one pixel line at a time, which produces a much smoother and much nicer scrolling action.

      Can Vivaldi provide a configuration option to scroll as Firefox does?

        @enyap I see no difference between Firefox and Vivaldi. Smooth scrolling is enabled in Firefox 68, but it still scrolls by one text line for each press of the up/down cursor keys.

          Honestly, there is a minimal difference between Firefox (68-70) and Vivaldi (2.6/2.7). It is not very visible, but it is, but I don't know if it makes sense to look for a solution to this small difference.

                If I have to scroll through long texts, I usually press the middle button until this circle of arrows appears, so you can move gently through the page with a slight movement of the mouse.

                  @Catweazle same here (in Firefox)
                  Vivaldi linux version doesn't have this option at all 😢

                  And yes, Firefox smooth scrolling is superior.

                    If changing it in the browser settings does not work.
                    Go into the Windows mouse settings and change from 3 lines to 1.

                      This only makes the scroll shorter, but not smoother. It is necessary that the scroll is not made in jumps, but continuous.

                        Yeah, I am wondering in what context the chrome smooth scrolling can actually be considered smooth.
                        "Smoother" or "Smoothish" would be better labelling

                          My experience of both browser is Firefox is smoother but start scrolling slower/lag a bit & less responsive than Vivaldi. Vivaldi scrolling feel very snappy & responsive when begin scrolling but it feel stuttering when ending a scroll. My guess is Vivaldi just need to slowdown (ease-out) the ending part to make it feel "smoother".

                            Windows mouse setting is already set to scroll one line at a time. Vivaldi scrolls a text line at a time. Firefox scrolls a pixel line at a time.

                              I use the Chrome extension: Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller
                              This makes all scrolling (keyboard, touchpad, and mousewheel) smooth on Windows.
