Disable Overscroll History

it works!

Does exactly what I need

OH MY GOD - Looks like it works, months of suffering might be coming to an end ! well done !

JESUS CHRIST! THANK YOU! Chrome has removed the overallscroll-history from the flags section so this is the only safe option for me without tweking stuff on the command line. 5/5

Perfect! You need to refresh tabs for it to work after downloading but once that's done it's great. Such a good solution if your computer doesn't allow you to disable it yourself

This worked perfectly and right away once I followed the steps that are given. Thanks!!!

Works perfectly, thanks!

As of now (fall 2024), it appears that this Chrome Extension is no longer needed. You can now disable overscroll navigation on Chromebooks by going to the Accessibility settings of the Chromebook and deselecting "Use a swipe gesture to navigate between pages". Thank you for the stop-gap solution in the meantime!

I'm using an M1 Mac and I've been trying to find a way to prevent horizontal scrolling from triggering forward/backward page navigation on Chrome by disabling overscroll-history-navigation, running "defaults write com.google.Chrome AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool false" on the Terminal and even turning off the "Swipe between pages" trackpad setting but to no avail. This extension however has worked wonders to say the least.

Does exactly what it says (after a browser restart) which saves me from so much lost data from accidentally scrolling and going back. Thank you!
