“How to enable middle-click autoscroll in Brave on Zorin OS 18 (no extension needed)


Brave does not auto-scroll when middle-clicking on Zorin OS 18
#Step-by-step solution:

  • Step 1:
  • Enable the flag Middle button autoscroll in brave://flags
  • Or type directly into Brave’s address bar: brave://flags/#middle-button-autoscroll
  • Or search for autoscroll in the Brave flags search bar
  • Step 2:
  • Find the flag named Middle button autoscroll
  • Step 3:
  • Change the setting from Default to Enabled
  • Click the dropdown menu on the right → select Enabled
  • Click the Relaunch button at the bottom right to restart Brave
    ==========

Important notes:

  • You do not need to install the AutoScroll extension (Brave handles this natively), nor any other autoscroll extensions — they may cause conflicts. If you have other autoscroll extensions installed, it’s best to remove them.
  • This feature is disabled by default on Linux, so it must be manually enabled.
