Thanks! Are there other prominent sites (besides Discord) where you noticed traditional scrollbars appearing and perceived them as a step backwards? For prominent sites... * ...that use ::-webkit-scrollbar with nonzero `width` (triggering this new behavior) but do so purely cosmetically (not for any usability issue with superimpmosed-scrollbars) * ...where users-who-have-overlay-scrollbar might perceive newly-OS-themed tradititional-scrollbars as a step backwards * ...where the site have enough usage to merit special intervention ...then we could perhaps add some site-specific CSS to Firefox, to stomp on any webkit-scrollbar styles (to restore overlay scrollbars). We'd need to think a bit carefully about this, and of course this doesn't scale to arbitrarily-many sites (but might be worth doing if traditional scrollbars do feel clunkier for users-with-overlay-scrollbars).

We'd need to think a bit carefully about this, and of course this doesn't scale to arbitrarily-many sites (but might be worth doing in specific cases of popular sites that are triggering this new behavior and where traditional scrollbars seem likely to feel clunkier for users-with-overlay-scrollbars).
