This is the first time I've noticed that you can no longer grab the scrollbar in Chrome (on Mac, visible when you scroll). If I can't drag the scroll bar to the bottom, what other ways are there to scroll all the way down fast? (Other than using another browser of course.)

- On a touch screen including a laptop you can scroll with your finger. - Space scrolls down several lines. - Scroll wheel - Up and down arrows scroll down a line at a time. - Page up and page down scroll down almost an entire page leaving what was the bottom-most section previously now the topmost section so that readers aren't disoriented or lost. Some apps let you configure this overlap size. - If you like vim you can add extensions to your browser and use j and k. - Home and End keys go to the very top and very end respectively. - Windows you can hold down middle mouse and drag to scroll.

    Scrollbars are a better visual indication of the ability to scroll than a way to actuate said scrolling. This is why they are smaller. Even thicker scrollbars were still a small part of the screen.

I'm using Chrome 79.0.3945.79 (up to date) with MacOS 10.13.6 (not as up to date), and can grab the scroll bar.
