Scroll To Top for Chrome: Smooth Scrolling with a Single Click

Lightweight Scroll To Top Extension for Chrome — Fast & Simple

What it is

A minimal Chrome extension that adds a small, unobtrusive button to quickly jump back to the top of any webpage.

Key features

  • Smooth or instant scroll-to-top action (user-selectable).
  • Small floating button with adjustable position and opacity.
  • Lightweight: minimal CPU and memory usage.
  • Optional keyboard shortcut (e.g., Alt+T).
  • Configurable show/hide behavior (only after scrolling X pixels).
  • Works on most sites, respects page styles and overlays.

Benefits

  • Saves time when navigating long pages.
  • Reduces repetitive mouse/trackpad movements.
  • Simple UI with no clutter or intrusive permissions.

Typical settings

  • Scroll behavior: Smooth / Instant
  • Button position: Bottom-right / Bottom-left / Custom (pixels)
  • Visibility threshold: e.g., show after 200 px scrolled
  • Opacity and size controls
  • Enable/disable on specific sites

Installation & permissions

  • Distributed via the Chrome Web Store or as a local unpacked extension for developers.
  • Minimal permissions: typically only “activeTab” or “scripting” to inject the button; may request “storage” to save settings.

Quick usage

  1. Install the extension.
  2. Scroll down a page until the button appears.
  3. Click the button (or use the keyboard shortcut) to return to the top.

Notes & compatibility

  • Should work with modern Chrome versions and Chromium-based browsers.
  • May not appear on pages that block injected UI (some extensions, browser UIs, or strict site policies).
