Lightweight Scroll To Top Extension for Chrome — Fast & Simple
What it is

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

- Reduces repetitive mouse/trackpad movements.
- Simple UI with no clutter or intrusive permissions.
Typical settings

- 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
- Install the extension.
- Scroll down a page until the button appears.
- 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).
