Thank you for the very detailed write-up. My main concern would be that this makes it too easy for authors to override the preference of users. When users have deliberately set their system-settings to non-overlay scrollbars, having the author replace those with overlay scrollbars can be frustrating. The proposal here says: > 1. **System Preferences**: Should `scrollbar-style: overlay` respect Windows "Always show scrollbars" setting? > - Suggested answer: Yes, system accessibility preferences should override author styles However, I am not sure how we can tell apart a system+browser's default setting to show non-overlay scrollbars, which the user may very well like, from a user who has changed their settings to show non-overlay scrollbars. For instance, I use Firefox on macOS, and I've changed my settings to use non-overlay scrollbars. The answer above suggests I'd get to keep those even if the author had set `scrollbar-style: overlay`, because system accessibility preferences should override author styles. However, when I use chrome on windows, `scrollbar-style: overlay` would win over the default of non-overlay scrollbars, even though I have the same preferences. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13218#issuecomment-3654902227 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
