That's not a commonly known or used trick.

Only known to users of such niche websites as YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.

Big sites might support it, sure, but have you visited the wider web recently?

Good Lord, just give me control over the appearance of scrollbars again. Was there some international UI/UX meeting where they declared a holy war on scrollbars? Seems like everyone is trying to make them disappear like they're an embarrassing and unwelcome distant relative they're passive aggressively trying to make go away.

Who killed the scrollbar? https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/0hgfswmoti3fi5zgftjecq (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21356511)

I think it's dependent on your mouse too. Personally I only use mice that have a click wheel, I absolutely hate free-spinning scroll wheels.

IMO the best mice ever are the Logitech MX Revolution and MX Master series that have an electronic clutch on the wheel. It's clicky by default but if you whip it the clutch unlocks and you can traverse an entire EULA in 0.6 seconds. Some of their newer gaming mice have a half-ass version of this as well with a manual mechanical toggle.

Is the EULA scroll the new Kessel Run?
