Respectfully disagree. I absolutely hate disappearing scrollbars.

  I respect your view. This why we (should) have options. For example, Safari doesn't auto-show scrollbars like Firefox does, and it hinders its usability a lot, if you ask me.

    The user agent should work for the user. So we should be able to easily choose whatever default we want.

      The user agent hasn't worked users in quite a while now. They've become optimized to work for the website owner. Scrollbar behaviour is one example of this, but so are user-hostile input fields (e.g. not being able to paste email addresses in email confirmation fields, not being able to paste passwords, autocomplete being disabled for some fields and being unable to override it, etc). At this point, I would pay good money for an actual user agent that is worthy of the name. I wrote a rant about this on my blog last month. https://blog.melnib.one/2024/05/19/death-of-the-user-agent/ https://blog.melnib.one/2024/05/19/death-of-the-user-agent/
