It was terrible under Firefox on my Surface Book, so out of curiosity I then tried it on Edge: scrolling doesn’t work at all on the touchpad or touchscreen (the arrow keys, Space, Shift+Space, Home and End don’t work in any browser). The scrollbar is the only thing that allows you to navigate down the page.

Disabling JavaScript (or if you are a NoScript user) usually 'fixes' the scroll override annoyances but try going to about:config and toggling layout.css.scroll-behavior.enabled to 'false' as well.

I started noticing some sites were hijacking scroll despite having them blocked by NoScript, however the above config change fixed that instantly. Turns out scroll can be hijacked by CSS now, not just JavaScript. Progress!

Nice. Unfortunately, that configuration option doesn't exist in Pale Moon.
