> I don't keep a "dick bar" that sticks to the top of the page to remind you which site you're on.

I use an extension called "Bar Breaker" that hides these when you scroll away from the top/bottom of the page.[0] More people should know about it.

Nice. This may be my pet peeve on the modern internet. Nearly EVERY site has a dick bar, and the reason I care is it breaks scrolling with spacebar, which is THE most comfortable way to read long content, it scrolls you a screen at a time. But a dickbar obscures the first 1 to…10? lines of the content, so you have to scroll back up. The only thing worse than the dickbar is the dickbar that appears and disappears depending on last direction scrolled, so that each move of the scrolling mechanism changes the viewport size. A pox on them all.

Note to web devs: use scroll-padding to fix this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/scroll-padd...

NAK; stop doing stupid shit and then you don't need browser support to fix the things you break on a case-by-case basis.
