Minimal Scrollbar

Minimal but Useful Scrollbars

What is Minimal Scrollbar?

Minimal Scrollbar is a unique Chrome extension that offers a simpler yet utilitarian browsing experience by turning your regular scrollbars into minimalist designs which are transparent, increase in size when you hover over them, and auto-hide when you're not using them. However, some Google web services like Gmail, Groups, and ChromeStore are exempted.
