EasyScroll automatically scrolls the Safari page you are currently viewing. Instead of repeatedly swiping the screen, you can let the page move smoothly at your preferred speed, making long articles and vertically long pages easier to read. You can quickly adjust the scroll speed and direction, so it works well for news, blogs, community posts, documents, and webtoon-style pages. Your last-used settings are saved, allowing you to continue with the same experience the next time you use it. Because it works with a Safari extension, you can use it directly on the page you already have open. You can also stop auto scrolling with a touch and start again whenever you want, making the experience simple and intuitive. If you want a more comfortable way to read without constantly touching the screen, EasyScroll offers a simple and practical auto scrolling experience.`
