No lie, I’ve actually had designers come to me with a concept for “a visual indicator that shows the user how they are progressing through the page”.

What the actual fuck, do these people actually use computers.

My biggest gripe is websites that take control of the browser C-f.

I mean, over the years the scroll bar has got less and less visible. Maybe these people don't even realise it exists.

I hate how tiny it often is now. What the fuck. Not to mention the ever decreasing contrast.

MacOS by default hides scroll bars. They're big on form over function which I hate.

Some people are just like that.

I knew a couple that mounted their TV in a way that all the ports (eg: HDMI) were inaccessible. They just didn't care that a big chunk of the TV's functionality was now blocked. They didn't want to see wires.

Web designer/ devs needed to add back visual indicators to long articles when OS designers started hiding scroll bars.

It’s also helpful when the article ends, but has a bunch of shit below it (like required advertiser garbage or huge footers). If the up dev is smart, they’ll calculate the length of the article so that the progress indicator is accurate.
