There are several cases why you’d want to change the native browser scrollbars for your website—whether you feel like they take up too much space, want to play around a bit, or simply don’t like how they look. One way to ...
Since I had a fairly old GPU (an AMD Radeon RX 570 to be specific), I waited for the release of the Radeon RX 9000 series to finally upgrade. I was amazed how smooth the shift went.
