God, this is so annoying -- I literally cannot bear to read articles when they do this. I truly don't understand why people think this is a good idea.

I also don't understand why there isn't a browser extension to prevent scroll-jacking effectively? "No more scroll jacking" on the Chrome store seems to, but annoyingly you have to hold a meta key for it to work.

NoScript works very well for me.

They're usually trying to create smooth scrolling. The problem is, it never works in every browser.

It should really just be an option in the browser, even if it's in a fancy hidden advanced settings page.
