Carlos Henrique (ID: 000000402448f912) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 P E R F E C T - create a invisible scroll bar?

Mohamed Abdelaal (ID: 000000209c7e1535) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/29/2023 A wise designer once said "good design is hidden" because we do not even feel that it is there, like its exactly what we expect. I have been using this extension for about 3 years now and it is perfect. I would like to thank the team behind it for making my life easier.
