On Edge I do the same with `edge://flags/#smooth-scrolling`, but I've found there're 2 separate usecases, one where smooth scrolling helps, and one where it doesn't, and a separate usecase where the scrollbar stands in the way:
- when scrolling with page up/page down, whether on Edge or on a terminal scrollbuffer, the tactile feedback of which key is pressed, and how often, is enough to keep track of the position. the scrollbar provide extra hints
- when scrolling with the mouse, the smooth scrolling provides all the information I need. the scrollbar only helps me know if I'm close to the bottom of the page
- when not scrolling but reading, the scrollbar is redundant and distracting. I like the new UI hiding the scrollbar, because I can better concentrate on the text.
Another flag I love in edge is `edge://flags#enable-force-dark` with `selective image inversion based on transparency and number of colors`: it gives perfect dark mode on every website, with no plugin needed!
