              1. I hate what browsers have done to the scroll bar, perfectly illustrated by this 2020 era CodePen that previously displayed a variety of scroll bar colors and widths and went from the version on the left to the modern browser version on the right.

              I especially hate how browsers hide the scroll bar entirely on mobile devices. Horizontal scrollbars should be easy & straightforward to force into permanent visibility when the content is expected to make a scroll opportunity non-obvious yet... they do not.

            The new scrollbar-width property (Firefox only), you'd think, would let you... you know... set the scrollbar width? But no, it's only options are auto and thin and as far as I can tell someone forgot horizontal scrollbars with height exist. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Scrollbars

          While we're here... also extremely frustrating that setting display: block on a table is understood and shown in a sane way in every browser but Safari.

        Every other browser goes 'ah, yes, treat the table like it is contained inside a div' and Safari goes 'I know not of what you speak and I cannot and *will not* apply this display property'.

      So now I'm going to have to write a markdown-it plugin I guess, just for Safari's sake.

    But back to the original point: I don't understand the obsession with withholding developer control over the scroll bar. This should be an obvious feature for developer manipulation, as it's a vital part of interaction with your page.

      And unequal rollout of a feature that alters content flow is a clear fingerprinting vector btw
