what is the difference between autoscrolling and smooth scrolling

what is the difference between autoscrolling and smooth scrolling

Chosen solution

You enable auto-scroll by clicking the middle mouse (scroll wheel) button on empty space on the website. This makes the auto-scroll icon appear You move the mouse up or down to auto-scroll in that direction.

If you enable smooth scrolling then you scroll by pixel and not by line height, so it is less jumpy but takes more CPU/GPU load.
