On mobile maybe. On desktop absolutely not. And in that case it's detrimental for them to be small.
- rr808 3y agoFor my desktop I usually use the wheel.
- bandrami 3y agoThe wheel doesn't tell you where you are in the page, which is why scrollbars are good (I don't know that I've ever used them to change position, personally; that's not what they're "for" in my brain). It's like how Safari has this weird insistence on hiding URLs. Every other browser tooltips or status bars a link you hover over, but no: we're apparently just supposed to click blind. For that matter the address bar doesn't even show you the full URL you're at right now unless you enter edit mode.
- acuozzo 3y agoHow do you scroll to the middle or end of an incredibly-long document? e.g., 200+ pages, if printed.

- rr808 3y agoActually I have a Logitech mx so can spin the wheel and it keeps going round for 10s+.
- TonyTrapp 3y agoI'm not a heavy mobile user and every time I do need to scroll a long page on mobile, I absolutely hate the experience. I cannot easily jump to a specific point the document. I have to scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll until I reach the paragraph I wanted to read.
