I am considering changing Privacy Browser Android’s default for scrolling the app bar to false for new installs. As the average device screen size has increased over the years, I have found that I now turn off app bar scrolling on all my new devices. I would imagine this is similar for most users. If this change were enacted, users could still enable app bar scrolling if desired. It would simply adjust the default to match what I assume most users want.

If users can still change whatever the default is then I say do whatever you think is best and worst case I can always change it back.
@publiclewdness Along these lines, I am constantly impressed by how frequently closed-source programs have conflicts of interest that cause them to set defaults that are expressly not in their user’s best interests, but are somehow perceived to be in the best interests of the company’s bottom line.
@publiclewdness The irony of this is that producing software that tries as much as possible to set the defaults that the majority of users actually want is better for the bottom line in the long run than software that abuses its users for profit.
@publiclewdness Mostly the purpose of this poll is to see if my hunch is correct that the majority of users currently disable app bar scrolling. Generally, the default settings for a good program should be the settings the majority of users prefer. (Sometimes they need to be the settings that will keep users out of trouble, but rarely is that different than what they prefer.)
