Muhammad Bin Zafar (ID: 0000002837e7066c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/25/2023 This is the best extension on the entire Chrome Web Store 🎉 I am 100% sure that so many people hate to see the superficial non-natural non-real-life scrollbar on their devices, but they don't know about this extension. Our devices are supposed to mimic and be similar to real-life, just like the most recent developments in UI/UX Design are shifting towards! Love you, team, for all the hard work 💚
