Dev channel update to 83.0.474.0 is live
I'm using gaming mouse with free scroll. is there a situation to create in order to notice the change in scrolling styles?
Likewise with gaming mouse & scroll-wheel. I see zero difference, so maybe it is a touch thing, which I don't have on my desktop. My grief with Edge is that the scroll-wheel always advances the screen several lines at a time, seemingly based on the Windows settings for number of lines to scroll. If there is going to be an OS disconnect to make Edge agnostic, then I am not sure where the number of lines to scroll will, or does, come from. With all the discussion around "smooth scrolling", I have been looking for Edge to perform like Firefox does in that the screen scrolls by micro portions of a single line rather that several full lines at a time. The jumpy, jerky, several lines advancing in a scroll is the antithesis of "smooth scrolling".

for me Firefox scrolling seems a bit off, when I compare Edge legacy and Firefox together, Firefox has few milliseconds delay whereas Edge legacy has instant reactions. my mouse has 1000hz Polling Rate.
the Edge however is pretty much the same as Firefox for me. I haven't tested all of the scrolling-related flags though, judging by the default behavior of Edge canary so far
At least with Firefox you can edit the smooth scrolling feature, with any Chromium browser you have the option to have it on or off - that's it.
If those are the only options I'd like the "smooth" scrolling to be smoothed out more for mouse users, right now it's too bumpy/jerky.
The best smooth scrolling you can get with Chromium browsers right now is the SmoothScoll addon.
