On GNU/Linux systems, at least, you middle-click to say 'go to this place'.
I love my scrollbars, and I want them always visible. I don't use the mouse often, and I certainly don't want to have to use the mouse just to see context.
Chrome implemented even worse nasties on GNU/Linux with scrollbars though, including forcing a snapback to original position if you drag the scrollbar but happen to move the mouse a few pixels too far left or right of the scrollbar [1]. Apparently that's how Microsoft Windows users do things. So now we have to as well.

I actually find it useful because I can refer to two places in the same document without losing my scroll position (I don't think that's its intended purpose, but it works).
