Web devs love to disable scrolling, and the result is always frustration. In the past, web devs were naïve, and just put the no-scrolling CSS on the <BODY> tag, making it easy to remove using the browser's element inspector. But these days they know that to stop me, they need to bury the CSS in the most obscure element possible.
Lately, Twitter has taking to using this misfeature of web browsers to force you to log in if you want to scroll down a page that somebody else linked to. When you start scrolling, some JavaScript removes the scroll bars and covers the page with a message saying to log in. I'm at a loss, since I don't want to create a Twitter account.
But surely I'm not the only person who has been frustrated by un-scrollable web pages. Isn't there some way to stop this?
