What the fuck is it with apps just making the scrollbar completely hidden until you scroll with the mouse or keyboard? Microsoft seems like the biggest offender with this. It’s so irritating, they’ve got more than enough space to just keep it around all the time, it’s what I’m expecting to find there, hiding it just makes more annoyed each time. It’s not as bad if you’re using a mouse with a scroll wheel, but on a laptop with a trackpad it’s beyond annoying.
I assume it's part of a trend of having as much useless white space as possible, so that they can stuff more ads into it.
For 1080p screens at least, 170% zoom seems to be perfect fit for most content (for websites where 100% zoom is likely designed for lower resolutions) meaning sidebar ads are not even on-screen (IIRC, maybe you'd need to scroll to not see the left one but not sure how to test this).
Though I guess more sites likely don't need as much zoom to fill content, for instance Kbin is full-width at 150%. Itch doesn't have whitespace even at 100% (on the right side, the left side has it due to the left sidebar that is stuck at the top of the page).
I guess they think all trackpads do the two finger scroll now. Not always the case.
