okay what is with the recent trend of 🔬Tiny Little Fucking Microscopic Scrollbars🔍 and why can websites do that to my browser now. fighting with this fiddly bullshit exacerbates my chronic pain and it's fucking annoying as shit. i have the world's most correct-able vision, an optometrist once told me my vision problems were boring, and multiple times a day i have to physically lean in and squint to see scrollbars on my Giant Fuck-Off Monitor. i can't think of anything that requires so much screen real estate that you would have to sacrifice Scrollbar Usability (except MAYBE something like Blender? idk!! Tool Panels Georg is a fucking outlier adn should not be counted!!). i have lived in front of PCs since 1994 and i have never once in my fucking life looked at any software or website and thought "damn, if only the scrollbar wasn't crowding this UI so bad, they should really shrink that down a bit". what is going on. if you make a scrollbar less than like 20px wide and don't at least let me easily override your bad decisions somehow, i'm going to come to your house while you're out grocery shopping and reduce the width of every doorway by exactly 51%. it'll take thousands of dollars to fix. you'll never understand how i did it.

There is zero excuse why this can't still be a user-settable option. I know basically every damn window manager these days is vectorized for hi-DPI displays.
