Another sign that the website you are on was only tested on macOS used to be scrollbars everywhere, since there is no visual difference between overflow: scroll and overflow: hidden. Unfortunately now the default in most places seems to be hidden scrollbars, which is great because if a page or component happens to layout just right, it will simply look like there's no more content and you'll have to rely on the user just knowing they can scroll or you have to add additional cues. If only there was some standard visual cue that could indicate that you can scroll and how far in you currently are!
(And of course, the wrong overflow values are still hiding everywhere, so it didn't really fix the problem...)
