Re: Firefox 100 also detects if your OS is set to a different language

> When it's hard to find a display that isn't at least a couple of thousand pixels wide, what genius came up with the idea of hiding the damn scroll bars into a game of hide the pixel?

Well, with 99% of monitors on the market these days being Portrait orientation, it's only logical and sensible that software authors do what they can to make use of the vast amounts of vertical space (Office ribbon, Windows 11 taskbar fixed at the bottom of the screen, etc) and eke every last pixel out of the restricted horizontal space (auto-hiding scrollbars, horizontal not vertical tabs by default). Really, I don't see what your problem is.

(Oh, and sorry if the "extreme bitter sarcasm" tag I used above isn't supported on your browser. It's 24 hours after this story was posted, so I'm already on the latest Firefox version 104... hang on I just got an update notification to v107...)
