Is broken in the more recent versions of Edge. Prevents some pages from scrolling.

Functionality: 5/5 Design: 4/5 Works perfect, some websites force their own scroll bar and I think it is a good thing that that still happens with this program. The scroll bar works perfect. Design: I personally would have liked it if there was something behind the scroll bar, otherwise: perfect! Thanks for this add-on. I would definitely recommend it.
