I generally loathe websites that mess with my scrolling.

That being said, there's a place for everything! And I like the author's simple implementation.

I've always felt a bit betrayed by the fact that Firefox lets web sites hijack the scroll bar in the first place. Why!? What happened to being the "user agent"?

The user agent developers realised that over time the relative amount of users that will bother to customise their user agent has been out-grown by the amount of users that won't to such a great degree that the number of people in the former group can now be considered a rounding error.

In other words, people in general just don't care. And therefore, neither will the software.

Does this graph give you the impression that Mozilla knwos what their users want?
