> Chrome-style address bar that hides when you scroll down

Is this a Chrome thing? I thought it was just a user-hating web design thing.

A lot of news sites seem to have a topbar that becomes invisible when you scroll down and reappears when you scroll up. I can't stand this. I want to scroll a particular line of text to the top of the text pane. I don't care where the top of the text pane is. I don't care whether the topbar is visible or invisible. But adjusting the topbar's visibility in response to scrolling makes it actually impossible to scroll the text to where I want it to be.

OP is referring to the address bar (part of the browser chrome), and not the "top bar" common on news sites, which is an html element (part of the page).
Admittedly, and horrifyingly, those stack.
The Chrome address bar doesn't do that, though.
On Android it does.
