I use a laptop. Not a mac, but with a multitouchpad so I scroll down and right click with 2 fingers still.
I hate the fact that if I move too much my fingers over tabs, the scroll will but activated and it will switch to another tab (pretty randomly since my scroll was unintended). It can sometimes be difficult to find my tab bacK.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour? In general, Chrome seems very minimalistic in terms of behaviour customization ...
Someone had the problem on Firefox, which I actually don't have there:
How can I disable mouse wheel scrolling of Firefox tabs?
Maybe this extension could help, but I have a negative feeling about it. Somebody uses it?

As of today this is built-in functionality within Chrome GTK/Linux only. Here is the key thread discussing the change: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1316
Windows users must use Chrome Toolbox (by Google) or an alternate solution. Unfortunately this extension and its control options aren't available on Chrome Linux's latest versions due to the drop for NPAPI support, as mentioned in the extension FAQ.
As a result, the only option I see is to pull down the source code for Chrome and modify the source, which I've done personally to make tweaks. It's not that hard to do and would be the route I would take. For this particular feature, I would simply undo / rollback the following change and recompile:
https://codereview.chromium.org/155053
If you click the "View" link under the column Side-by-side diffs and change the files to match the red version (old), that should essentially do the trick. Sorry this is technical in nature, but it would certainly solve the problem. Alternative suggestions welcome.
