[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1348383, member: 71075"] What about notebook users who don't use a mouse? Sure, you can use a two finger gesture but that is nowhere near as efficient as using a scrollbar (this is more obvious on longer documents). I did an informal unscientific experiment to test this. I scrolled through an 84 page PDF and these are the results: - Two finger scroll: 29.0 seconds - Scroll wheel: 14.0 seconds - Scrollbar: 1.0 second Having scrollbars doesn't take away from this though. Not only does enabling scrollbars simply push content "in" but it takes up such little space. For instance, my Chrome window right now is 1350px wide and the scrollbar takes up 15px. That's 1.1% of the width of the window which is hardly what I would call lost space (which as mentioned above, isn't really lost at all). [/QUOTE]
