CSS creator offers to remove scrollbar and scrolling from browsers

Now many developers are trying to either completely remove the scrollbar, or squeeze it to a minimum. The creator of the same CSS, Haakon Wyum Lee, offers to remove the scrollball from the modern versions of browsers. In principle, there is a certain logic in this, since Haakon Wium Lee proposes to completely change the way you navigate in the browser. According to his idea, the scrollbar is not needed.

Why? Firstly, because of the scrollbar, the content location inside the browser window changes. Secondly, the printout of long web pages is quite problematic. Lee proposes to replace the scrollbar with “CSS Generated Content For Paged Media” technology. This is something like separate pages, which can be simply scrolled, not scrolled. The result will be something like a nice presentation, and page-by-page navigation will look like scrolling through slides in Powerpoint.

This method of navigation has its advantages, since the content will occupy the entire width of the page, and it will be more convenient to work with the browser.

Of course, such a proposal has its negative sides. For example, now we are used to scrolling the content of a web page when searching for the necessary information. No matter how long the page is, searching for content is not such a difficult task. But when scrolling through all this can be much more complicated.

In addition, there are problems with finding text for a given keyword throughout the page, if it is divided into “screens”. Yes, and opening links raises questions - how should all this happen? In a new window? In the new browser? What will happen as a result of opening several links from a page consisting of 10 “screens”? All these problems are solved, of course, but the questions are relevant.
