Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-scrollbars] `scrollbar-width` should support custom measurements (#6263)

you're on the wrong track...

Browsers have the same 80/20 problem like standards or operating systems. They usually only do what "most" of the users use or want or whatever.

Basically they don't have time or motivation or whatever to add the missing 20%.

So it's very important, that we - the users - can do something by ourselves.
Tgere are enough users that can write extensions to browsers or userchrome.css or usercontent.css etc.
But if the necessary css attributes are not available, it's impossible to do at all.

We can only override something with !important, if it does not exists or the desired value is not possible.

Pleeeaaase...do not redirect us to someone else, but solve our problem instead.

There are plenty of examples where this works very well.

The real power of CSS lies in it's selector rules, which allow to override looks and behavior and gives users the last word with !important (if implemented correctly, that is browser !important has priority over web site !important, which they should never do, but some devs don't care)
