I think scrollbar blocking is another website "feature" that browsers should disable by default. I don't want to have to deal with the page inspector to browse the web and that isn't even an option on a phone browser. I can't think of a single legitimate use case for blocking the scrollbar or right clicking but just in case there is one the browser should still offer a way to enable such JavaScript code on a website by website basis.

This is impossible to implement in practice though. Scrollbar "blocking" as you call it, is just an overflow: hidden CSS style, which is perfectly warranted and needed in some cases on some elements. How do you identify which element is the "main" one for the given website? It doesn't have to always be <body>, it could be something which is nested.

You can do both of those things in Firefox, IIRC. Right-clicking is in about:config as: dom.event.contextmenu.enabled -> False You can also bypass any disabling features by holding shift when right clicking. I think this setting forces scrollbars to be visible on any scrollable content in FF as well (though this one I'm only about 50% on): layout.testing.overlay-scrollbars.always-visible
