Im getting annoyed by the new layout of google. Hovering the sidebar will make a scrollbar appear but the main part of the site's scrollbar will disapear. This results in most content moving from their original place. Let's make a Stlyish script to fix this problem I thought. Guess what now somethings stay where they should be, but the things that were first on the right place have moved. Also this will make the header shorter. I'm getting more and more amazed how shitty some frontend devs are at google.
To fix one bug they, instead of solving the bug, tried to counter the result of the bug.

I do like the z-index of the sidemenu though (it's 2005, the year youtube was created)

    @Froot I mean this:

    As you can see in the top right of the second image the sidebar is a bit to short.
    On a profile page the effect is way worse (if you are interested I will share those screenshots as well)

    You mean the scrollbar of the sidebar? I don't see the issue, to be honest. 🤔

    @ctwx if you look at the top right of the image, the regular scrollbar is gone and the header isnt full width anymore. On profiles things jump 16 px away.

    Once I know how to make a gif I will make a new rant and delete this one because of the amount of confusion.
