    In firefox, if you 3-finger swipe, you can scroll all the way up or all the way down a webpage.

    Is there an add-on for this feature for Safari or Chrome?

    Also, I've tried looking around for a add-on similar to Tab Mix Plus for Chrome and haven't had any luck.

    I want to switch to Chrome since it utilizes less memory than Firefox but the extra 3-finger swipe and Tab mix plus is preventing me.

    Someone some shed light.

    I'm pretty sure that this was added in code in Firefox for it to be supported. I've looked at the Windows variant of the code in the past and it was pretty hairy. I was surprised that it isn't supported in Safari and Chrome which are both derived from Webkit. It looks like the feature needs to be added. I would guess that the three projects have already had the feature request.

    I guess the best thing to do (outside of implementing this yourself) is to look at the feature requests and vote for them.
