Reverse scrolling in Chromebook

Question

Is there a way that I can change my Chromebook's scrolling as OS X Lion's reverse scrolling? I both use Chromebook and MacBook Air. Reverse scrolling just makes sense.

See Use your Chromebook touchpad in the Chromebook Help.

Originally, the Macify extension for Google Chrome also included a rough implementation of Apple's Natural Scrolling, Chrome OS now includes it out-of-the-box. To enable, just go to:

chrome://settings/pointer-overlay

and select Australian scrolling.

Chrome OS natively supports inverted scrolling, look for it in Settings (dev channel only for now).

As of August 2012 it's in the stable channel. Settings > Touchpad settings > Enable simple scrolling direction – Andrew Aug 16 '12 at 01:58
But unfortunately, that setting doesn't apply to external mice connected by USB (e.g. Logitech wireless mice), and Google seems unwilling to implement it. http://blog.orbeon.com/2013/11/adjusting-dropdown-width-on-ie7-and-ie8.html – avernet Nov 05 '13 at 05:58

It's called "Australian" scrolling in ChromeOS's touchpad settings. – Dan Mar 08 '14 at 14:08

Go to Chrome's settings page (chrome://settings), under Device, click Touchpad settings, and select "Australian scrolling" instead of "Traditional scrolling".

See also google's page on this topic, especially if Google updates Chrome OS to make the above advice outdated.
