@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.)

@kagan Thanks. Is there a way to circumvent these stupidities and allow the browser to present a scrollbar when needed ? @tj

@kagan@wandering.shop @tanavit@toot.aquilenet.fr @tj@howse.social Let's not forget JavaScript, which enables a great chunk of web design fuckery.
