What is the function of the button on the keyboard called Scroll Lock?

Question

Google Chrome

spoiler

Scroll Lock - Выкл

Scroll Lock - Вкл

I understand how this button works in Excel. But how does it work in, say, the Google Chrome browser or text editors? On the example of Excel, its functionality seemed quite useful to me. How else can you put it to work?
