![]() ![]() There are occasions when I don't even know the content is scrollable, though I tend to try scrolling with the wheel without even checking the bar, so I doubt this is a huge issue for web pages. ![]() My monitor is pretty close to me because I use it for gaming, so I tend to keep my window narrower than the monitor anyways, so the scrollbar is effectively taking up no space at all. The scrollbar is 16 x 816, taking up 13 Kpx total, or 1.3% of my screen. The Firefox window with this page in it is at 1125 x 905 = 1.0 Mpx. Right now, my screen is at 1920 x 1080 = 2.1 Mpx. The scroll bar takes up an insignificant amount of space. It also gives me an index to determine where I'm at on the page if I want to quickly scroll to the top and back down. It allows me to quickly determine how long it will take to read the content on the page (presuming a decent scroll bar whose handle: gutter ratio is equal to the screen: page ratio) and tells me how far through the page I've gotten. It also gives me more precision for most pages than my scroll-wheel. It allows me to quickly navigate large pages no amount of finger-scrolling, scroll-wheeling, etc. As a mouse user, I abhor scrollable content that doesn't give me a view of and access to scroll bars.
