Can you actually grab it at all?

I'm under the impression these kinds of designs are built for the Macbook monoculture and assume you scroll using a touchpad gesture.

Works fine for me.

Barely. I have to try a few times.

Personally if you're altering browser chrome you've gone too far - it's the users browser, not the web designers.

Nowadays, I find the only interaction I have with the scroll bar is to look at it to determine how far down a page I am. I always use the scroll wheel on Windows or the two finger scroll on the Mac trackpad to scroll a page.

Yeah which is why its so frustrating that so many sites are updating to ones which hide the scroll bar.

This doesn't though.
