How to fix jerky horizontal scrolling

If you're using Google Chrome on a Mac, sometimes scrolling through horizontally-scrolling websites can trigger your browser's "swipe between pages" function and cause you to accidentally go back to the previous page. In some cases, the "swipe between pages" function can cause jittery or unpredictable scrolling.

To fix this by disabling Chrome's "swipe between pages", open your Terminal.app and paste the following command and hit enter:

defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist<br>AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool FALSE

To turn it back on, paste the following command and hit enter:

defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist<br>AppleEnableSwipeNavigateWithScrolls -bool TRUE
