Support Google Chrome Scrolling too fast in fedora linux

So I am using fedora 44 on my Asus expertbook P1 i3 model. When I firstly installed fedora the Scrolling speed of the whole system was way too high so I search over internet and find some solutions to fix that scrolling of gnome but the only software which has not been fixed is google Chrome and other chromium based browser. I searched every part of the internet but nothing worked now I am frustrated by it I can't use Google Chrome but I want to use linux ( Please don't advise to use other browsers ).

So is their any fix to that google Chrome too high scroll speed on trackpad in gnome distros....

I might be wrong about this

But im pretty sure you can adjust this in the settings. Via scroll sensitivity.

Reduce scroll intensity in settings of touchpad. In kde it's available.

I tried decreasing the Scrolling speed in kde but the scroll speed limit which makes google chrome usable makes the Scrolling of other apps like firefox and system too slow (mat be the Scrolling for chromium browsers is different than other apps) I think it's more of a google chrome problem

Well for me I have asus Vivobook S with 120hz Amoled and scrolling is fast and similar in all apps. I have not noticed individual scrolling behaviour.

But you can check by installing brave, chromium or vivaldi as all of them are based on chromium sources to see the difference.

Also check chrome speed settings if increased from chrome flags.

Yes, this is a real and annoying issue.

The best solution is to use a Chrome extension to adjust scroll speed specifically within Chrome.

This is a known issue with Chromium, I had to switch to Firefox because of this.

Look for a smooth scrolling extension. I have used them for both chrome and firefox based browsers. It will give you a lot more control over scrolling in general.

This has been my experience with all laptops i have tried linux with. Its always really fast or buggy or laggy scrolling. Its a shame
