- shadowgovt 7y agoThey did it because the buttons took up room, were used by nearly nobody, and (in the case of the "jump to top" / "jump to bottom" buttons) destroyed the user's scroll state in a non-undoable way that was too easy to trigger.
- dredmorbius 7y agoOn touch devices, that's frequently the case. Some form of multi-stage action (select/confirm) and a scroll-undo / scroll-backnav (return to prior location w/in doc/screen/page) might help. Small-screen design is hard, and there are a number of distinct breakpoints at which different concepts do and don't work.
- aeyes 7y agoWhat OS? Even without the arrow buttons I can scroll without dragging, just click the scrollbar wherever you want.
- MisterBastahrd 7y agoOther idiots also made the scrollbar thinner, harder to see, and hidden unless you purposefully move your mouse cursor to the side of the page. With a mouse and good eyesight, it's not that big of a deal, but I would imagine it's an accessibility issue looking for a place to happen.
