Back in the days where you didn't have to concentrate to grab a window slider, because it was wider than 3 pixels. When the slider itself had more than 1% contrast with the slider bar, and you could easily see how far down the page you were...

But also in the days where some lunatic claimed black-on-gray had more visibility than black-on-white, and every webpage suddenly became, well, like HN.

But I'm old.

I have, in fact, fallen for thinking a page didn't have much in the way of content because the scroll bar was hidden. I did not scroll down because there was no indication that you could scroll. So I did not even try. Why would I?

I'm not that old!
