I have been researching this for hours and I am getting no where. However I am working on a project and would like to making scrolling smooth with a little ease. (Ease as in it continues to scroll for about half a second and stops.)
To be clear, I am not looking to click a anchor tag so the website scrolls towards the target, I am wanting to scroll up or down with a smooth "feel" so elements and animations that are effected by scrolling transition smoothly as well.
I have searched through Google and YouTube and on here so it could be possible I am looking up the wrong thing.
Thanks in advance for your replies!

There are many times, on various websites (Treehouse included) where my scrolling is 'jerky.' Sometimes it's really bad, other times just a little. Consequently, on these same websites, there are many (in fact most) times the scrolling is fine and smooth.
When the 'jerky' movements get really bad, I usually (log out) quit the browser and relaunch. Many times this solves the problem, but if I've been running multiple (high load) programs at once for a while, then the only fix is usually restarting my computer.
I find I run into this problem more so on my older laptop but not so much on my newer desktop (both Macs).
If you find this problem is ALL the time and on EVERY device, then I'm not sure what it could be.
Hope you solve this. Jason

5,449 PointsThanks Jason, some websites load smoother then others for me. The project I am working on now doesn't have much content so as far as memory goes I don't think that's the problem. But what I did notice that FF scrolls smoother then Chrome
