The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Tab Wheel Scroll
This plugin lets you navigate between browser tabs using your mouse wheel.
How to use:
-----------
Way 1 : Hold "Alt" and "scroll up/down" to switch tabs
Way 2 : Hold the "right mouse button" and "scroll up/down" to switch tabs
Notes:
- Your cursor must be positioned over the web page content (not over the tab bar itself).
- ✓ Also supports horizontal scroll wheels (e.g., Logitech MX Master 3).
Where it does not work
-----------------------
For security reasons, browsers restrict extensions on certain pages.
The scroll will skip:
- Internal pages (e.g., chrome:// pages, settings, ...)
- Chrome Web Store pages (where you are currently :))
- Search results (e.g., Google Search) unless you have explicitly allowed the extension to access these pages in your browser settings.
On these pages, the tab is simply skipped.
