Genuine question. Who still uses a scrollbar for more than a visual indicator of progress?
Not usually but I also hate to be looking for the scroll position for 30 seconds when I want to see the length of the page. Depending on the colors of the page I have troubles finding.
In Firefox, never. In some applications, they have the "lines per tick" for your scroll wheel WAY too low, like 1 per. In those applications I try to, but they inevitably have visual-only scroll bars.
Pretty much never for me except when I remote in to MacOS machines for some reason Shift + Mouse Wheel doesn't scroll horizontally. So I have to tap a left or right arrow key and then drag the bar.
