You're telling me I can't afford an 8 pixel wide scroll bar on a fucking 1920 pixels wide monitor?

Meanwhile nearly every article nowadays has a useless header image that takes up the entire screen, pushing the content out of view until scrolled down.

Give me nice and thick title bars and window borders, give me wide scroll bars, give me ginormous buttons with proper borders and textual descriptors. Minimalism is nonsense if critical contextual information is denied.

I am telling you people don't need 80 pixels of vertical space spent on title and application switcher, and can use those better with actual content.

But if you want to put words on my mouth, go ahead.

I do, because big and easy-to-handle title bars and taskbars make for easier and quicker usage of the interface.

I also have 15 layers of tabs in one of my Pale Moon windows, but that's beside the point.
