Fixes the slow scroll speed in Chrome for Linux by emulating the Windows scroll speed when the extension detects Linux. When it detects Windows it will disable itself.
The extension also allows for custom scroll speed values in both Windows and Linux.
All settings are saved locally in the browser to not mess with syncing between different systems.

- Fixed banners messing with smooth scroll disable behavior
iFrames from other domains will use default scroll speed due to security (same-origin-policy). There is to my knowledge nothing to be done about this without some clever rewrite that is currently above my head.
CSS smooth scroll behavior is disabled by default. To my knowledge, the true smooth scrolling seen in Windows and MacOS will only be available with real hardware acceleration. Google stated that this won't be avaible in Chrome for Linux. The future will tell.

Default scroll speed values:
Linux = 1.9
Windows = 1.0 (extension is disabled by default)
MacOS = 1.0 (This needs testing!)
