### Problem Description
While scrolling with a touchpad is smooth, what isn't however is when it immediately stops after i lift my finger, which (imo) ruins a bit of the experience. It's not a deal breaker but would be a nice thing to have considering chromium can do kinetic scrolling.
### Proposed Solution
Add an option in the theme settings to either enable or disable kinetic scrolling, if smooth scrolling is disabled then the option would be grayed out.
### Alternatives Considered
Perhaps put it baked in to the app without a toggle?
### Issue Labels
improvement to existing feature, new optional setting, visual improvement
### Additional Information
Comparing FreeTube touchpad scrolling to Firefox.
