Did you one morning wake up only to discover your #Slack's web interface now displays ugly browser-default scrollbars even when they're not needed, such as in your lovingly maintained sidebar? 😱 If you're using #uBlock or #uBlockOrigin, here's a custom filter you could enable:

! Fix Slack's custom-styled scrollbar
slack.com##body .c-scrollbar__hider:style(scrollbar-width: none !important;)

And if you're wondering how to use a more legible font, you could add this:

! Fix Slack's font
slack.com##body *:style(font-family:"Arial";font-smooth:auto !important;)

Obviously, you can use any font that you'd like and style it further, or you could style any other elements on the page but that's the way to do it and it 💯% works. No need to install additional browser plugins to force custom styles when the one you already use can do that for you, too.

A before and after comparison of enabling custom filter in uBlock or uBlock Origin to fix Slack's borked-up scrollbar styling.

@wervice this doesn't really fit with your four hashtags, but here goes …

A few days ago I began using a web app that works well, in a desktop environment, if stretched wide across two HD displays. The stretch must be careful, for the black borders of the two displays to not fall in the middle of a column.

The app is more difficult to use on a smaller display, in the same desktop environment, because the developers chose to use a ridiculously shallow horizontal scroll bar. I might attempt to fix this, for myself, with CSS, however I'm not a developer (I really don't know what I'm doing with CSS). Moreover, I shouldn't be forced to hack something as basic, as essential, as a scroll bar. It's excruciatingly poor UX.

The same web app is, in some ways, much easier to use (in Firefox) on a small Apple iPad, because I can use my finger to swipe horizontally.
