User reviews
The 'hide-scrollbars' Firefox add-on generally works well for many users by effectively hiding scrollbars and providing simple controls. However, multiple users report that it does not work in some Firefox versions and lacks flexibility, such as site-specific activation. Additionally, it defaults to hiding scrollbars upon browser restart despite previous settings, which is seen as a usability issue. Overall, while appreciated for its core function, it could benefit from enhanced configurability and better persistence of user preferences.
Pros
- Effectively hides scrollbars as intended.
- Simple and works out of the box for many users.
- Provides an enable/disable button for users.
- Users express gratitude and positive feedback for functionality.
Cons
- Does not work for some users or specific Firefox versions.
- Lacks options to selectively enable on certain websites.
- Defaults to hiding scrollbars on browser restart even if disabled previously, causing inconvenience.
