Windows 10: Microsoft is improving Chrome’s scrollbar scrolling on Windows 10

The era of the traditional Microsoft Edge has ended for consumers as the Redmond firm has switched to Chromium and Google’s Blink rendering engine. Microsoft recently said that the new Chromium-based Edge would begin replacing the classic Edge on Windows 10 and the company is now updating the browser with important improvements of ahead of the migration.

Yesterday, Microsoft started rolling out new Edge Dev and Edge Canary updates with significantly improved scrollbar scrolling. Fortunately, in the spirit of supporting the open-source platform, Microsoft has submitted those changes back to the Chromium project.

In theory, this means that any other Chromium-based browsers will be able to take advantage of those new scrolling optimizations for themselves.

In a forum post, Microsoft’s engineer has confirmed that the scrolling improvements have already landed in Chrome Canary.

“After a bunch of work, compositor threaded scrollbar scrolling is finally on by default in Chromium master. Today’s Chrome canary (82.0.4072.0) has it ON. Thanks to all those who helped and guided me along the way. This will be a perf win for scrolling on Chromium-based browsers and takes us all one step closer towards scrolling unification,” the engineer wrote.

Google should begin shipping it to everyone later this year, but we don’t have the exact timeframe yet.

How to change the Microsoft Edge scrollbar color

Original Title: windows 10 scrollbar color

Is there a way to change the light color of the scrollbar in Windows 10? I'm using Edge and it is hard for me to see the scroll bar. The fixes I found online are for computer programmers. I'm a basic computer person. Can someone give me an easy step by step
solution?

 

Scrolling the window

There's a scrollbar on the right side of the program window, right? Just like in any other window when the contents are more than what the window can display. If you click on the up/down arrows, the window scrolls up/down a little bit. Now there is a bar inside the scrollbar which you can grab and use it to scroll the whole thing any way you want. If you click inside the scrollbar, BUT not on the grabbable bar or the arrows, the window scrolls up/down by large amounts. This is the standard Windows behavior. In GPU-Z however, doing so works indentical to clicking on the small arrows.

Omg I can't really express myself in english.

P.S. Yes this is nitpicking *Smile

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
