@tanavit @tj It's possible to send client-side code (HTML and CSS) that change the appearance of the scrollbars (including making them completely invisible). Web developers are the people who write that code. (I suspect web *designers* are the ones who create designs without scrollbars, and then tell the developers to turn them off. But the developers should be pushing back, pointing out that this is a major usability and accessibility problem.)

@tanavit @tj The real one, yes. But you can set an area of the page to overflow: hidden, meaning that if there is too much content to fit, don't display the excess - which is useful on fixed size boxes because otherwise the content overlaps with other content. But that also means that you can hide the browser scrollbar and replace it with a slow broken one written in javascript.
