> Really I think we just need better APIs from the browsers to customize when a scroll bar is shown (again, not on the page level but within scrollable elements) What do you have in mind beyond "always show", "show if needed", and "always hide"? Those have all existed for decades as "overflow: scroll", "overflow: auto", and "overflow: hidden".

`overflow: hidden` hides the actual content. GP wants the element to be scrollable with a hidden scrollbar.

  You can do that already with: section::-webkit-scrollbar{ display: none; }

    This is exactly what I’m talking about though. This browser prefix is not standard.

There is somebody on another thread asking for "stick to the visible margin of the element". But I guess most people want to change the scrolling behavior or appearance.
