Description

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

WebView2 scrolling feels choppy and abrupt, lacking the smooth, inertia-based behavior seen in Microsoft Edge, despite using the same rendering engine.

I haven’t found any existing bugs or feature requests addressing this.
Have there been any discussions or plans to support native kinetic scrolling in WebView2?

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

On any scroll

How important is this request to you?

Impactful. My app's user experience would be significantly compromised without it.

Suggested implementation

A flag in the Settings to enable native smooth/kinetic scrolling.
Optional API for scroll behavior configuration.
