Requiring the user to touch the trackpad (with two fingers, at that) just to know the relative position in the page is an inconvenience, at least to some.
Also, isn't the scroll bar really useful when you need to scroll up and down the page quickly by an arbitrary amount?
- chenglou 13y agoIt's an inconvenience for a (in my opinion) tiny problem. The pros far outweight the cons. I expected someone asking about scrolling an arbitrary amount. After all these years of reading internet articles and pdf manuals on Mac/iOS, I've rarely ever encountered a case where clicking the position on the scroll bar beats the speed of flickering the trackpad (and that's even excluding the precision). In fact, there's rarely an internet page where I can't get to the end within one flick. http://www.theverge.com http://www.theverge.com <- this is one flick (While we're at it, yes, you can still drag OS X's scroll bar if you really want to. I've used it for pdf manuals).
