Scrollbars are a pretty cool feature that allows you to move content within a scrollable pane by clicking and dragging. However, they are getting smaller and this is becoming a problem for many individuals with fine motor control issues or inaccurate pointing devices. Some even struggle with eye sight challenges. The trend of shrinking scrollbars or completely hiding them is making it difficult for users to navigate effectively. While some options exist to customize scrollbar widths in certain software like GTK, others like Chrome and Electron offer limited configurability. On a positive note, minimaps are a great alternative that provide easy navigation and a large hit target.
