Firefox does this by default. It looks like you have to get an extension for it in Chrome. Could have sworn this was standard -- I am pretty sure it used to be in older systems, but I guess it's less common now. It's still a great feature that I miss from Firefox.
In most browsers, you can middle click on a non-link to enable auto-scroll:
i.e. you middle click and this icon appears, then the page auto-scrolls in whatever direction you move your mouse. This is useful for creating a slow-scrolling screen for reading longform text, like a teleprompter. If configured properly (where moving the mouse further from the autoscroll icon increases speed), it is also a convenient way to scroll large distances quickly.
To provide a concrete use case: I play chess online. The game makes a noise when a piece is moved. The noise only lasts 200ms or so. I want to be able to mute the tab. But the "audio playing" icon only appears very briefly when the noise is currently playing, it is too fast to click.
This does not happen in Safari.
In Firefox I can right click any tab and mute it, even if it isn't currently playing audio. This is useful for websites that I know will be playing audio soon -- I mute them before they start.
Also, in general, everything I can do to a tab should probably be surfaced in that right-click menu. Having the mute button be in the address bar was not obvious to me, and it disappears when there is not active audio, whereas I want to mute the tab before the audio even starts.
Steps to reproduce:
Open twitter timeline
Open DMs popup in bottom right, view a conversation
Scroll through twitter timeline
Expected behavior:
I expected the DM conversation to stay the same. What actually happens is portions of the DM text vanish.
