Scroll it!

A Chrome/Opera extension for scrolling a lazy-loading content on any website.

Basic idea

Today lots of websites are using lazy-loading technique to show new items/ news/records/ upon scrolling down. Also you're able to scroll up in lots of messengers like Telegram/Vkontakte to see old messages. So I needed an easy way to scroll up and down, seemed like there was no such extension on the market so I decided to create it.
