Still no scroll bars on New Tab/Start page! Can't be just me!
I guess that what the OP is trying to said is that there is no scroll bar to scroll up.
For me personally I it annoying to scroll the mouse all the up to reach the upper part of the news if I scroll it too far down.
Having a scroll bar would be nice that I capable to scroll up fast.

Limyx826 Exactly, scroll bars provide a quick way to get to the bottom or the top. They also provide a way of reading the news without having the constant refreshing that takes place as you scroll down. If you use the arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar to scroll down, instead of clicking on the scroll bar itself and moving the mouse down, you don't get that constant refreshing that cause you to lose you place on the page.

I fully agree with the mouse scrolling comment. What I really would like is a back to top button like the one on this particular page we are on now. Limyx826 .

Hi Jacques,
That is right https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/insider-addons/detail/dobeplcigkjlbajngcgnndecohjkjmiaI have been happily using it for a long time.

So you would recommend that MS removes the back to top button from pages like the tech community one we are on here and that we install this outside extension? I still think it should be baked in Drew1903. This tech community page is short and doesn't really need it but the newsfeed page is almost endless. So why provide it here and not where it is really needed?
- HotCakeXSep 11, 2019MVPHis main concern is for scrolling down to the news section but sure if you have no scrollbar you can neither scroll down nor up.

Although, the same can be accomplished via the Home key or the Page Up key (or Page Down, for that matter). Granted, still, the 'missing' bar that's an issue for some, but, just another way of scrolling additionally to bars & wheels.
Oh & by the way, just as an aside, I have been using a Scroll to Top button (extension). May as well mention it; pretty cool & handy/helpful. One can fetch it from the MS (Edge C) Store right https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/insider-addons/detail/dobeplcigkjlbajngcgnndecohjkjmia. Except it doesn't function on the NTP, of course; good ole Murphy's Law, eh?
