Just a heads up for those using the Chrome browser
Google Chrome under attack via zero-day flaw — update now | Tom's Guide
As some of you may already know, this flag was removed a long time ago, but the feature itself could still be enabled with a command line flag, well, it turns out that this flag is back in the latest Chrome Canary build:
But the reason why the flag is back is not so that users can enable this feature easily, apparently the real reason for this change has to do with the fact that this feature (overlay scrollbars) cannot be disabled in ChromeOS with a command line flag, so Chromium developers have brought back the flag so ChromeOS users can easily disable the overlay scrollbars.
This is what it says in the Chromium bug:
And this is what it says in the Commit:Can we bring back chrome://flags#overlay-scrollbars first? It's not perfect, but it had been the way to mitigate the problem before it was expired in M76. On other platforms an advanced user can disable overlay scrollbars using --disable-features=OverlayScrollbar, but this is not feasible for ChromeOS users.
Revert "Remove overlay scrollbar about:flag"
Reason for revert: Overlay scrollbars have reduced usability with somecontent, and for some users. Restore the about:flags option to let themopt-out of overlay-scrollbars until more accessible scrollbars supported.
