No browser I know of has ever been Russian friendly. The Russians did
try to make a browser that had no scrollbars but it was an absolute
disaster, like a car they made.

Setting overflow: hidden on the root element ought to get rid of the
scrollbars on the viewport.

Yes. But I think the OP mentioned he did not want to do this (in an
aside where he said he *could* hide the bars).

He wanted to know what was really going on rather than how to cover up
the effects he noticed. I gave him a little bit but was starting to get
on to to a subject that can get a bit creepy, namely "viewport talk" and
I had to stop because I don't know the OP and how he can cope with scary
stuff. I don't go around talking about Ultimate Opaque Objects and
Rectangles to just anyone. Please understand this. I am very
responsible.
