If you’ve found yourself scrolling through a website and have it jump right back to the top once a slow loading element loads, then we have to say you’re not alone. Google is fixing an annoying effect that happens when you’re reading in Chrome. Called scroll anchoring, this new feature helps avoid those incidents from happening, especially when browsing on a phone. The update will lock the content you’re currently looking at on screen and will no longer jump when elements on the page load. This means it’ll keep you in the same spot so you can continue reading. One other issue this addresses is you won’t suddenly be clicking on links you haven’t intended to when the page jumped. You can see how it works in the clip above.
