Unfortunately those unusably small or invisible scrollbars are the default in many browsers. Such as Firefox on Linux, which I'm using right now.


I think this really comes down to personal preference. I also use Firefox on Linux and always find the Windows-type scrollbar to be incredibly ugly and bulky, especially on other overflow: scroll elements.

Luckily Firefox allows changing that default.
