Also, https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/ Has had no scrollbar for quite awhile (I have been using the middle mouse click to scroll)
Is this maybe related?

Yup

Code: Select all

body, html {
    overflow-x: clip !important;
}

Seems a common trend for many sites (who knows why ?). At least for those quoted in the thread, using the arrow keys works.
If I see no scroll bar, and the text obviously continues, I now almost automatically use the arrow keys.

No idea but it does feel like a hell of a lot of copypasta going on. Who knows, maybe AI thought it was a good idea and everybody just used it because ChatGPT kept spitting it out? XD

Funny thing; i just now clicked on the original post's url for MSN, and guess what? I have a Scrollbar! :o :?:
And I really don't know why? Scrollbar works just fine too :?
And I never adjusted any settings in UBO and/or eMatrix (default) they allowed some automatically and blocked others.
