## Description

Hide Scrollbar is a lightweight, incredibly efficient browser extension designed to hide the bulky, default scrollbars on any website, providing a cleaner, more immersive, and distraction-free browsing experience.

🌟 Key Features:
- Complete Disappearance: It utilizes a native CSS injection technique to reliably hide scrollbars globally or even specialized custom CSS scrollbars found on dense sites like Facebook, X (Twitter), Spotify, and Notion.
- One-Click Toggle: A simple, elegant Popup interface allows you to instantly turn the scrollbar hiding on or off at will.
- Smart Whitelist (Exclusion List): Easily add specific domains to your whitelist directly from the Popup. Hide Scrollbar will automatically respect these exceptions and keep scrollbars visible where you actually need them.
- Backup & Restore: Easily Export your whitelist and settings to a JSON file and Import them on another machine.
- Privacy First: The extension requests minimal permissions, processes everything locally, and does not connect to any external servers or tracking services. What you browse stays yours.
- Resource Friendly: Hand-coded in pure Vanilla JS and CSS, this extension has an extremely tiny footprint, ensuring zero impact on your browser's performance or battery life.
