Scrollbars and scrolling are two things I refuse to touch. I utterly hate it when my scrolling is hijacked and it changes how scrolling behaves (like slower or with bounce). And I like the functionality of the scrollbar, use it often on my phone to quickly scroll up and down. I just tap and drag.
Front-end web developer working for SeriesEight - previously Blue2 and The Covey Agency. Interested in simplifying front-end development, promoting accessibility, performance and static sites.
I mean scroll-jacking is absolutely horrible, it drives me a bit nuts how all of these websites that win awwwards and such all ruin the experience by removing native scrolling. People ignore how much of a basic accessibility problem it is too, a slight difference in scroll behaviour can make people feel uncomfortable and even motion sick using your website.
Scrollbars I will touch if what's needed is a custom scrollbar in legacy browsers, but only in the form of a well-regarded library with a lot of history that prioritises accessibility. I still don't like it as it's so unnecessary but at least I know it's not harming people in the process.
