Unfortunately those unusably small or invisible scrollbars are the default in many browsers. Such as Firefox on Linux, which I'm using right now.


I think this really comes down to personal preference. I also use Firefox on Linux and always find the Windows-type scrollbar to be incredibly ugly and bulky, especially on other overflow: scroll elements.


Exactly. It's personal preference, which means it should be the user's choice, not the site designer's.


Luckily Firefox allows changing that default.
