What happened?
In Zen Browser and Mozilla Firefox (no, this issue is not in both, paragraph 2 explains), scrolling on a touchpad is forced to be segmented, as would be expected behavior if the input device was a typical (not smooth scroll) mouse wheel. In Chromium browsers, this scrolling issue is not present (eg: scrolling is pixel-by-pixel at a normal speed in Brave Browser and Chrome).
However, in Mozilla Firefox, you can fix laptop smooth scrolling by passing MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 when launching firefox, and can be made persistent as a setting by running echo export MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/use-xinput2.sh. As I understand it, zen browser is based on Firefox, so I assume that the issue is the same as the one there.
Reproducible?
[X] I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.
