Use the page-down key?


I just tried it, it messes up* on the last page so you have to find where you where again.

* If the last page should only be one paragraph, the browser might not be able scroll down enough to only include only that paragraph.


This has been ruining my reading experience on the web for years. I remember fondly an old Opera version (10-15 years ago) that would briefly display a dotted line on page up/down to mark the boundary between pages. It was such an amazingly useful little addition. I don't recall whether it was built-in or an extension, I just remember the disappointment when I couldn't use it any more (either they disabled or it was the time I switched to Firefox).


This bookmarklet will get you the same effect: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28605875


Oh man. I wish I had that. Opera was so great (running Vivaldi now fwiw)


Or the space key, which is easier to reach out for (shift-space to go back up).
