    Another site it breaks is Google Voice, it turns it into a total blank white page. Too bad to, because I really like the concept of this extension. I think you should make a new version and include a place to opt out certain domains.

    Version 1.0.3 from 28.08.2024:

    REPLY to dev's answer: It should be possible after all to combine good detection and preventing HTML content broken (e.g. see "Scrollforce", "Scroll Everywhere" and so on). It's not about cookies and uBlocks Annoyance list causes some troubles too - this is not a solution. Here I provide explicit details about the problem and samples so the debugging should be easier:

    Yeah, the addon does its work - even on very stubborn nasty websites - that are the good news (5 stars). For the bad ones (-2 stars), there is a high risk to break the web content, even on well-known domains. So far the addon was only developed to unlock the scrollbar but the dev never did extended tests in preventing the HTML structure to get broken.

    On YouTube fullscreen mode videos it shows a horizontal scrollbar where no scrollbar is expected. On other websites it causes a conflict with the content. E.g. on mega.nz and GiveawayOfTheDay it simply deletes all web content.

    Please, can you fix it and test on more websites before publishing so that these conflicts become decreased?

    Hi Drago, I'm sorry you face issues with the extension. Unfortunately, websites manage to block scrolling using different strategies. I'm afraid there is no general solution.
    I cannot test on all websites but no matter what I propose, as the CSS is changed, there's a risk of undesired rendering.

    One solution could be to inject the script that enables scrolling manually instead, only when you need it (clicking on a button / with a keyboard shortcut). I don't know when I will have time to work on this.

    An approach with automated different behaviors per website could fix the issue but it looks way too huge to me and I don't have the time to develop and maintain this.

    Of course, as the extension is open source, feel free to contribute to it if you can. The link should be somewhere on this page.

    Let me propose you an alternative if you use this extension to block cookies pop-ups. You can enable uBlockOrigin's cookie annoyances list. I think you'd have a better browsing experience with it than with ForceScroll. This is what I have been doing for Chromium based browsers, and it works like a charm.

    Cheers,
