Some websites now display a horizontal progress bar across the top of the viewport, which fills up as you scroll down the page, exactly like a scroll bar.
Instead of just showing a scroll bar.
Madness. Absolute madness.

@argv_minus_one @tj Mobile phones usually dont display the scroll bar. That's a mobile phone design pattern leaking on the desktop.

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @tj@howse.social Oooh. I think I've been tricked by this one before, it looks so similar to the way my mobile browser displays loading progress 😭
