> Nearly EVERY site has a dick bar, and the reason I care is

that when reading on my laptop screen, it takes up valuable vertical space on a small display that is in landscape mode. I want to use my screen's real estate to read the freaking content, not look at your stupid branding bar.

And I don't need any on-page assistance to jump back to the top of the page and/or find the navigation. I have a "Home" key on my keyboard and use it frequently.

TBF, many people don't have that Home key. I agree with you, though - there should be a better solution. At the very least, just have an optional "Top of page" toolbar button in your browser.

That's one option. On macOS, it's fn + Left. On Android, I'm not sure there's anything.

On Android I think the typical interaction if to "fling" the page downward which will rapidly scroll until you crash into the top. Seems adequate for all but the longest pages.

On iPhone: Touch the top bar

On MacOS: Click the top part of the scroll bar
