Simplifying the most recent scroll bar feels like a huge step backwards to me. It really is the epitome of modern tech needlessly boiling down to its basic visual aspects to emulate a “clean” environment for the users.

Give me back my scroll bar texture damnit

This. Holy shit is it frustrating to click a pixel wide scroll bar that is on the edge between two monitors. It’s even worse when they disappear.

I recently had a complaint with a website:

“Users are having trouble scrolling!”

My response:

“Are they using the scroll wheel/directly scrolling with the touchpad, or using the scroll bar?”

They were, of course, using the scroll bar. I am now somehow responsible for design choices made at the level of the browser, because browsers have decided that the scroll bar should be nigh impossible to use. Yippee.
