@kommadieb it's easier to keep track of where you were when your eyes can follow how the page moves, as opposed to when it jumps in one click. I use smooth scrolling (middle mouse click + drag) when someone else is also looking at my screen

Imo the single-frame jump is better when you're the one scrolling because otherwise you're waiting for an animation. It's always the same scroll distance (unless the site hijacked it 😡) so with a tiny bit of practice it's faster and you shouldn't lose track
