Extension summary

Force scrollbars instructs web pages to display scrollbars even if the site developer disabled them.

The app could be useful if you see a part of the content but can’t scroll to it. Typically, it happens because of bugs in the website markup.

Features:

  • Show horizontal scrollbar, vertical scrollbar, or both
  • Enable for a specific domain
  • Enable globally

By default, all scrollbars are disabled, because you need it for certain buggy websites.
