YouTube's custom scrollbars that take actual space on screen at all times annoyed me so much that I made a userscript that got rid of them. I made the choice to use overlay scrollbars, and I will enforce it if needed.

Sorry but what's overlay scrollbars? (I found a few results but I'm not sure if they're the same thing you're talking about)

Not parent but probably this from GNOME https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues...

I disable them in settings. I want to see them all the time.

Ah, ok. Completely different from what I was thinking with regards to scrollbars/css. Thanks!

On macOS, when you use Apple input devices, the scrollbars work like on iOS and Android. They appear on top of the scrollable content when you start scrolling and disappear shortly after you stop. You can make them visible all the time, but then they will take up space like they do in e.g. Windows.
