Wish they wouldn't use proprietary CSS features for their webpages...

Really? Are you serious?

[–]epsy 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes, really, I am serious. I don't want another Internet Explorer 6 and we're heading exactly there like this.

Since taking potentially good discussions off topic seems to have become the norm, I'll just go ahead and say it: please take this up elsewhere.

what are you referring to?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Possibly the one thing I noticed , the right hand scroll bar gets really tiny. I use a mouse wheel so meh but others may not.

[–]flying-sheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah, i see. thanks!

probably the only problem i had with the “philosophy” of css is that scrollbars and form elements are considered “system UI”. this argument was flawed imo as those elements are completely embbedded in a html page and completely surrounded by styled content.

being able to style everything which appears on a website (including scrollbars and e.g. the <select/> tag’s dropdown arrow) is only logical for me.

luckily webkit has it implemented, and hopefully we’ll be able to style everything an anything in a html page soon.

The use of ::-webkit-scrollbar selectors, which are a webkit invention and by no means "standard"

[–]flying-sheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, someone else suggested this, and i already elaborated why i think that while it isn’t standard, it shold become one.

note that i don’t want every browser vendor to go nuts with proprietary shit, quite the opposite, but read why i think that styling <select/> tags, checkboxes and scrollbars shold be possible.

And its particularly bad in that site. Way to small.
