So when I flick my fingers while scrolling on my trackpad, the page continues to scroll even after my fingers have left it. I don't like this, however, because then when I switch to a different tab in Chrome, by pressing control + <number>, it triggers the "zoom" command in chrome which is control + <scroll>. This causes the side effect of whever I switch to a new tab, the previous tab gets zoomed in. Is there a way to turn off this trackpad scrolling "momentum" or any other possible solution?

There are a few ways to do it, here are 2 via the command line:
xinput --set-prop --type=float "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" "Synaptics Coasting Speed" 0 0
Or the more succinct
synclient CoastingSpeed=0
