Disable smoothscroll on Mac by default

Smooth scrolling works fancy on Windows, but large amount of users found smooth scroll in Mac browsers quite annoying.

Maybe you can make an option, something like disableOnMac set to true by default?

If needed, i can make a PR.

Hi, thanks for reporting!

Do you mean mouse wheel or touchpad scrolling?
Which browser? What kind of input device are you using?

Hi, thanks for response.

It's about touchpad (and magic mouse) scrolling in all browsers.

Are you using the default settings?

Touchpad scrolling should be unaffected by SS

This library absolutely destroys scrolling experiences on OSX with a touchpad. For example this site uses smoothscroll and the scrolling is a nightmare.

Agreed with the comments above. Scrolling on OSX (trackpad, magic mouse) in Chrome and Safari is about as much fun as a colonic irrigation. Firefox is alright. Has always been an issue with all smooth scroll libraries I've found

Guys just tested on Chrome & Safari under Sierra. Using a Retina Macbook Pro's touchpad I see no effect whether SS is running or not.

If you have a specific test site set up show me, but I'm skeptical to say the least.

maybe you had touchpadSupport = true.
I now removed that option

Answer 8 · 2016-11-26T22:52:01.000Z

Go to the example site I linked and try to scroll. It's absolutely destroyed.

Andrew3RayCode's website above scrolls me nearly 100vh when I move my finger even slightly on magic mouse or trackpad. An equivalent scroll on any other website scrolls about 30px. A normal sized scroll moves the page 200-300vh+.

unsure why you're skeptical (to say the least) @galambalazs with such an obvious bug and multiple people confirming it...

Answer 10 · 2016-11-27T08:56:56.000Z

That site is using an outdated version of the library.

I understand your concern guys that's why SS is built to leave touchpads unaffected.

It's up to the website owners to update their versions now.

If you have issues with other websites reopen and I'll examine the version but it's no longer an issue with the current one.
