- _aavaa_ 4y agoHaving an always on scrollbar may save you from trying to have to scroll. But not knowing if you can scroll is caused by poor website design and not by a hidden scrollbar
- xdennis 4y agoYou don't need to design your way out of a problem with a custom solution every time if you just add the scroll bar. Being fooled into believing there's no more content is often incidental: some gap in the content aligns perfectly with the bottom of the window. (This is especially the case with designer websites which use a lot of blank spaces.) You shouldn't need a custom solution.
- _aavaa_ 4y agoI wouldn’t consider having the website be designed to let you know that there’s more content a “custom solution”. As for the rest of your comment. This really is a matter of preference. You’ve built a habit to look at the scroll bar. I’ve built a habit to try scrolling and see what happens.
