Chrome is coming to Windows 11-style overlapping scrollbars

As most of us know by now, the new Microsoft operating system Windows 11 features overlay scroll bars that change shape when we approach or use them.

You might be interested to know that the same dynamic features are also being tested in the Chromium browser.

This basically means that the upcoming Windows 11 experimental version of the Chrome browser may soon have overlay scrollbar functionality.

Chrome will soon have Windows 11-style overlay scrollbars

The Redmond-based tech company has been using Chromium-based scrollbars since August 2021 The Edge web browser has been testing its own version of Chromium overlay scrollbar functionality.

At the time, a developer working on the Edge browser commented that the team would also try to bring these scroll bars to Chromium.

There have been no updates since then until recently, when a new patch appeared on Chromium Gerrit. A Microsoft engineer has confirmed that the feature will begin testing in Chrome soon.

To simplify matters, the Google Chrome web browser for Windows 11 may have overlay scrollbars in the coming weeks.

This patch attempts to fix a bug that occurs in YouTube full-screen mode when Windows 11 style scrollbars are enabled.

It seems that Microsoft engineers intend to fix this bug before they start testing overlay scrollbars in Chrome, which will happen soon, possibly in the next few weeks.

Users are happy to hear the news, and reactions to the new initiative have been mostly positive. One of the future Chrome versions will definitely introduce this feature for users to test.

All that's left to do is wait for Microsoft and Google to perfect these cosmetic features, making browsers and operating systems more consistent.
