Wish it worked, because the premise is awesome. Unfortunately the only page it actually works on is the 'Scrollbar Anywhere' options page-- it doesn't do a thing anywhere else.

Sir // MAdam, This is an excellent extension that WEB BROWSERS should consider embedding into the design. They have already tried this with OVERLAY SCROLLBARS inside chrome://flags............but honestly? Overlay SB's does not really function all that well.......? i have a widescreen Laptop here , which is extremely common. There will be over 300 million of these Laptops and the display settings are all standard. When in OVERLAY SCROLLBARS and you take the mouse pointer to the RIGHT SCREEN SIDE edge nothing happens. You must then move the pointer tiny amounts inwards to get overlay scrollbars to appear......it's a terrible implementation of scrollbars by the browser company's ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If there was ONE addition that could help your installed extension it's giving "some sort of visual indication" to any Laptop user of HOW to actually scroll. How does a new user to the Laptop know *how* to scroll.... if THEY were not the person who installed your extension? Intuitively a regular laptop user would drag the pointer over to the RIGHT SCREEN SIDE and not find any scrollbar.........and so they would then move to the Laptop KEYBOARD ARROWS or page down. Could you create a method where-upon....... 1) WHEN THE USER PRESSED any "keyboard arrow key" to try to scroll the web page........ 2) As the user did (1 above) also A SCREEN MESSAGE APPEARED telling the user how to use the MOUSE to scoll by "holding down the mouse button and sliding the mouse" it's just a helper for NEW USERS of machines where those USERS have no idea your extension is installed.

(Had to install it again to write a review, which sucks). This extension blocked all my rightclick popups in chrome, that really sucks. I got to know this only after some days being frustrated by not being able to use any popup menus anywhere. Took me some time to figure out what extension does that. Not recommended to those who still want the full mouse, not half of it.
