However, tight operating system integration meant that we couldn’t bring the experience to other OSes, including previous versions of Windows. This allowed our browsers to introduce class leading smooth scrolling at the time and effortlessly match Windows personality – motion, interaction, looks and feel. In previous releases of Microsoft Edge, we enabled smooth scrolling through tight integration with the operating system Compositor ( DirectComposition) and input APIs ( Direct Manipulation). In a future post we will describe some of the performance and functional improvements we’ve been working on. In this post, we’ll cover how we’ve improved scrolling personality in Microsoft Edge – scroll animation and how it reacts to your interactions, looks and feel of scrolling.Īdditionally, we’ll summarize themes we’ve observed in your feedback, and outline some of the next steps on our journey. Whether you’re using a touchpad, touch screen, mouse wheel, keyboard, or scroll bars, you want your scrolling experience to be fast and responsive. Scrolling is one of the most common user interactions in a browser, and it’s central to how we experience the web.
