2. Get rid of the vestigial up and down arrow buttons.
I like having those buttons. I think it was a step backwards when Chrome for Linux abandoned them. Those buttons don't take up much space, and they're convenient for when you have to scroll a little bit in a long document.
- joebadmo 15y agoInteresting, I really didn't think anyone used them anymore. Just curious: do you not have a scroll wheel? I just tested, and it scrolls the same amount (WinXP (work)). The arrow keys on the keyboard also scroll the same amount.
- quanticle 15y agoI use the scroll wheel at home, but at work, the scroll wheel is worn down on my mouse, so often it'll skip and scroll 2 or more increments when I only want it to scroll once. As for arrow keys, well, my hand is on the mouse anyway and I'd rather keep it there than scroll on the keyboard and go back to the mouse.
- joebadmo 15y agoSo it sounds like you use it as a last resort because of a broken scroll wheel. Isn't that an edge case?
- quanticle 15y agoSort of, but I know plenty of less-experienced computer users who still use the buttons. Older people, especially, may not have the finger dexterity to manipulate the scrollwheel with the necessary precision.
