Blending Scrollbar: A Minimalistic Customizable Scrollbar Extension

"Blending Scrollbar" is a Chrome extension that redefines aesthetic appeal and utility. Intended for minimalists, this extension replaces traditional scrollbars with a beautified blended version that merges the interface background with the page content. A valuable modification for Windows and Linux users who aren't fans of the default scrollbar. The extension is purely CSS implemented and emerged as a response to Google's removal of the chrome://flags/#overlay-scrollbars option.

Скролл в минималистичном Windows 10 стиле, который был в Chrome, но разработчики зачем-то его убрали, заменив уродливой прокруткой в стиле Windows 11 с закгруглениями. Ставлю его всегда и очень благодарен авторам этого расширения за то, что они сохранили эту возможность. Огромное вам спасибо!
