Reviews & Comments of Win7 Scrollbars chrome extension

Looks terrible, there's no borders on the bottom and top so it just gets cut off, and there's a weird grey line on the left side of it. Using Brave.

I didn't get any arrows from this...just a different scroll bar. Misleading.

Great - I've got my scroll arrows back in YouTube, where I missed them most! However, it _doesn't_ work on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/win7-scrollbars/cifcnoebhbpdndjendfkpehpfbglgfkc/related - i. e. its own page, such as the one you're reading right now!

They take away functionality and call it progress. Thank GOD for people like the author of this extension. They are the real heros.

Not updated for 8yrs... but it still works perfectly. Such a simple extension but a real visual improvement.

On Win10 with Google Chrome 99.0.4801.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit), the thumb (slider that shows current position) is missing the top and bottom bitmaps. This makes it look like somebody chopped the top and bottom of the slider off.

I know this thread is old, but---My problem started while on You Tube, where I spend a lot of time. The arrow keys disappeared on the right side, which enable me to easily move up and down. I had installed some extensions to try to revert back to classic Facebook and I believe that was when the scroll arrow keys disappeared for me AND was unable to revert back to original FB. After spending hours trying to get MY arrows back on the right side, all I had to do was uninstall the FB extensions. Hope this saves someone all the time spent getting the arrow buttons back! Remember---uninstall any new extensions, one at a time, to help solve your arrow problems. I can't be the only frustrated person who had to solve this problem on their own. Good luck!

Great on Windows X, but doesn't appear to work on my Mac running Mojave (10.14.6) ☹️

Thank You so much, Those Stupid plain rectangle scrollbars have been in Chrome for several years now & I have hated them all along. BTW this extension also works perfectly in Edge Chromium.

this extension need review, because there is no arrows in instagram web for scrolling in comments.

Some websites are missing the bottom scrollbar. How do we get the bottom scrollbar to show up on ALL sites?

This is a good extension. I really liked it. But I noticed that some of the scrollbar is cut off. Can you fix that? Or is it just me and Chrome OS?

Doesn't do anything

Great to have the arrow buttons back! It looks like Chrome has now replaced them too, but the "Win7 Scrollbars" appearance is still nicer.

I will try!

I love the look and the arrows. However I had a lot of problems with pictures especially on ebay and craigslist not loading. I tried everything I could think of to fix. Then I turned this extension off and bingo my pictures would load. Needs to be fixed to be compatible with pictures such as ebay etc. and Amazon etc. Thanks I wish it worked.

essential

Thank You! It is weird not having any arrows. I access files alot. So Bravo!

This addon does not add advertisements to the page content.

This makes chrome so much better, holy crap.

Excellent! I'm glad someone hears the cries of the minorities that Google ignores. Google always removes features without reason and doesn't listen to the end users! Not having scrollbars on a web browser is like not having a rear view mirror in your car. How irritating.

Such a great idea! Works 100%. Great Extension.

It fixes Google's mistake of screwing up the scrollbars. They restored the arrows, but the flat look of scrollbars makes them hard to see and use. The only problem is that sometimes the scrollbars do not show at all. Like in gitlab software (www.gitlab.com, www.dokuwiki.org). I would prefer the whole scroll bar to have volume (non-flat look), not only the thumbs, but the name is "win 7 scrollbars". Now someone has to fix what Microsoft screwed up and make Win XP scrollbars...

Thanks! I'm glad to have the arrow scroll buttons back and a slightly wider scroll bar. But I wish the scroll bar were even a bit wider than it is.

Didn't work! Started with only vertical scrollbar before install. After install checked both boxes under the extension, then closed browser and reopened it. Still no bottom horizontal scrollbar. I need a scrollbar when page size is deduced so I can scroll left and right. I don't have that option without a horizontal scrollbar.

(Mac user) Works with some pages sorta - no arrow buttons, but I do get a persistent scrollbar which is my main desire. But it doesn't work on all pages, and consistency is important.

This extension in three words: SCROLL BAR ARROWS.

Seriously, taking away the scroll bar arrows?! Totally ridiculous!

Very good, but what would really make it great would be the ability to regulate the scrollbar width. Many with weak vision need the easier access of wider scrollbars. Google's push to minimize the scrollbar is unfathomable.

I like the size and heft to it but I would LOVE it if i could customize the colour to a dark grey.

When I think about Chrome changing the scroll bar I think about the adage, if it's not broken don't fix it. But Chrome apparently said, If it's broken, if it's not broken, we'll fix it anyway. You know technology must be for everyone, of all ages and all socioeconomic backgrounds. It should always be user friendly. I love the scroll bar arrows. I need the scroll bar arrows. And Window 7 shouldn't have to find ways for users to access their scrollbar anywhere on the Net. Chrome should just eat their dish of humble pie--we all make mistakes--and scrap their changes. Rock on Win7!

DOESN'T WORK

Thank you! I so missed the arrows. It was annoying not having them. You know, so often it is the little things in life ....

Awesome. When users complained about the new scrollbars Google developers were making statements about how the change was embedded so deeply into Chrome that it was too hard to make native scrollbars an option. Yet here is a simple extension...

Note: Chrome has seen the error of their ways, and has updated scrollbars to implement much of the behavior that was previously removed, so I no longer use this extension. That said, it was good for when it was needed. My previous review is below: I really appreciate this extension. It does a good job of trying to undo the damage from Google's ill-considered scrollbar change. That said, there are some caveats to be aware of: - It doesn't (and probably can't) work on lists. (Unfortunate, as Google botched those even worse; you can't grab the thumb to scroll the list and must use the scroll wheel.) - It doesn't replicate the native context menu that appears when you right-click the scroll bar. - It doesn't replicate the native "hotspot" behavior, where dragging the thumb then moving the mouse away from the scrollbar causes it to snap back to its original position. - Due to restrictions by Chrome, it doesn't work for the chrome: protocol. - It will work for the file: protocol and incognito mode, but you must manually enable the option to do so. - There are some rendering problems on certain Google sites, such as GMail.

Works as intended. Wouldn't use the Chrome browser without it!

Makes Youtube flash player flicker when this extension is enabled.

no problem whatsoever, just like native

Hooray!

I hated not having the arrows. What a stupid thing to take away in an update! Thank goodness for those who create these extensions for people like me who really need them!

Very good.. I was wondering where the scroll arrows went! but now I have them back! :)

THANK YOU!!! I am not sure why I lost my scroll arrows BUT it was SO annoying!! THANK YOU!

So glad to have this back.

Fixed a rather silly "improvement" by Google. Well done.

I wore out my wheel on my mouse . Welcome back scrollbar !

It definitely makes the scroll bar more visible and I appreciate that. I don't know if its possible in css, but another thing I missed when Chrome messed up the new scroll bars was the ability to "undo" the scroll by moving your mouse a few hundred pixels to the left. I used to do that multiple times a day and now I get unhappy every time it fails.

great add-on!

Thank god for this extension. I've been looking at IE, Firefox and Opera the past few weeks, 100% because of Chrome's very thin scrollbars with no arrows. Some of us still use a mouse and the new scrollbars are impossible to use. This extension fixes everything that I've been disliking lately about Chrome.

Awesome extension.. about "access my data on all websites" i have checked this extension source code for version "Version: 1.1" and it has nothing security problem as it only contain css code under extension. Thanks for making this awesome extension.

Even though I've enabled it, it's not working

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! And I'm in my 20's lol =)

Thank you....you have just made my 71 years of life a lot easier!!! Thought I was going blind. Appreciate your work....keep it up!!!

So happy to have the scroll bar back, as it makes navigating web pages easier. Also like having the larger scroll bar width back. I hope future updates of Chrome bring the scroll bar back.

it is installed and enabled BUT HOW DO I GET IT TO WORK?????? WOULD HAVE BEEN USEFUL TO EXPLAIN THAT.

just works! sometimes looks bigger but it's OK. customize color feature will make it awesome. Thanx

God bless you, sir. Whoever came up with the idea to make the scroll bars practically invisible should be tied to the hood of my truck and forced to endure an 11-hour driving shift. After they got through picking bugs out of their teeth, maybe they'd think twice about "improvements".

After only using Chrome for 20mins on my notebook, the lack of scroll bar arrows started to become a real pain. So simple, but makes a world of difference to the browsers usability. This is a brilliant quick fix. Thank you! :)

So glad to have the wider scroll bar and arrows back! It was very difficult to use that skinny Chrome scrollbar on my small notebook screen.

Thank you soooo much for the arrows on the scroll bar. I don't use a mouse so it was really annoying when you mysteriously removed them.

A little wider would benefit old eyes like mine.

Thank you! I can use Chrome again!

Thankyou, back to normal again

Thank you so much for releasing this add-on, it's fab, love it, sanity restored!!

Immediately started spamming Chrome with ads. Stopped as soon as I removed it.

I love it.

Yes! Chrome, you suck. Native controls are the best.

Did not restore scroll arrows when displaying pdf files (only worked with html files)

Thank you so much. almost switched to IE! Works Great! #lifesaver

LOOKS good! But the functionality is still not there. Please add snap back when I drag the cursor an inch away from the bar.

It does what I want it to do--replace the bar with the arrow keys at top and bottom.

THANK YOU! The dev team at Google who handles Chrome should hire Five4. Apparently, they have a bunch of high school kids working on that team (i.e., let's make Chrome "cool" looking in spite of its usability). My Mother is 73 years old now ... Google really messed her up with the stupid "pretty" thin scrollbars ... until this extension put her back in charge.

This extension works well on my Vista PC. Thank you so much!

Feedback - please improve this so that in-page scrolling ALSO works. Still unable to use scrolls correctly in-page.

Everything's back to normal. I don't know why Google made this particular switch but thanks for this app that gives me my old arrowed scrollbars back!

Fixes the problem with page scrollbar. Thanks. Does not fix problem with 'drop down list' scroll bars. I see other people have noticed this as well. Chrome now uses 'whatever the f*** those things are called' and they just plain don't work on windows. at all. Please add windows scrollbars to other browser elements that need them (e.g. drop down lists) if possible.

Thank you. Wondered what happened to Chrome, now we know. Software developers need to think about what happens when you change software without understanding how it might affect some people. It is not always positive.

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for... Google made a dumb move removing 30+ years of UI functionality.

Amazing!! I was so upset when google chrome removed windows 7 scroll bar's, but when i saw this, i was sooo happy... thank you sooo mich...

Works great. Though I am somewhat disappointed that the Chrome team felt that changing it was a good idea in the first place...

YES!!!!! Not having arrows was driving me nuts.

Thank you, but why oh why did Google remove the arrows in the first place! "If it ain't broke - break it"

I didn't miss the arrows so much, as was annoyed by the horribly low contrast of Chrome's new scrollbars, especially on a light grey background. Now I can once again see at a single glance where I am in the document.

Thank God! I was about to switch browsers.

Brilliant! Makes Google Chrome what it used to be. Thank you! ;-)

Works perfect! Thank you!!!

This fixed everything. Now I can live with chrome once again. Thankyou!

Just wished that it also helped with the awful drop-down menus

Thank you so so much! Not having my scrollbar arrows was driving me crazy! The added bonus of having them restored in Gmail... priceless! :)

God knows why Google decided to remove the Chrome scroll bar's arrows (how on earth is that any sort of improvement?) but this sorts the problem right out. Thanks!

Absolutely fixed the problem.

Thank god i found this extension. Don't know what I'd do without the scroll arrows. Probably better if i switched back to Firefox instead.

I don't know what would possess Google to break one of the fundamental rules of UIs and make Chrome diverge from the rest of the OS, but this solves that little problem quite nicely.

Oh my God, thank you. I was dying without those arrows and the more-visible scroll bar.

Why does Google have to ruin EVERYTHING? First they try and shove Google+ down everyone's throats, and now I can't even use the regular scroll bar on my browser? A function that I've been using for over 10 years and had absolutely no issue with it? What, did they find the one thing that was working correctly and say "we NEED to ruin this too." I'm tempted to just go back to firefox. Thanks for the app, but this doesn't work with drop down lists like I was hoping it would.

Thanks! I really love having my arrows back!

Awesome, simple fix.

Seems like another company doesn't understand the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Not what I'm fully use to seeing, but I rather have this on my screen than the so called "improvement"

Works on http:// and https:// protocols, not chrome:// or file:///

thnaks :) sometimes new feature doesn't mean it's better

Google has decided we don't need scroll bars with arrows. If you disagree, get this extension, it's simple and makes it easier to scroll down long news feeds.
