Turning on some of an OS’ accessibility setting around motor and vision impairments can speed things up if you want to fly fast. There are a lot fun hidden features that will kill animation or open up hidden shortcuts.

IMHO, the end of scroll animation is probably one of the more harmless ones. Since scroll bars are usually hidden or faint, it provides some affordance for hitting the end of the line.

Using an old Android phone that does a hard stop really feels pretty bad now. It’s one of those “how the fuck did we live this way for so long” moments. It’s like going back to a lower refresh rate on a display. It just feels kind of janky.
