*** FAQs and Common Problems ***

Why does Chrome warn that Win7 Scrollbars can "access my data on all websites"? Are you tracking me?

No.

Win7 Scrollbars does NOT "access your data," do any tracking, talk to any servers, or do any other nefarious thing you can think of. It is implemented in 100% CSS; it contains no JavaScript; and it does not access any external resources.

It does only one thing: restyle the scrollbars. And it does that entirely locally, on your computer.

Chrome is providing this warning because CSS is technically able to do other things, such as add and remove content from pages that you view. Win7 Scrollbars doesn't do that, but Chrome has no way of knowing that, so it provides the warning out of an abundance of caution.
