Android WebView scrollbar still visible in built APK despite CSS hiding it everywhere else
Hi team,
I'm running into an issue where my site's scrollbar-hiding CSS works correctly in every browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, mobile browsers, both iOS and Android) but the scrollbar still shows up specifically inside the built Median Android app.
My CSS:
css
html, body {
w: auto;
rflow-style: none;
ar-width: none;
html::-webkit-scrollbar,
body::-webkit-scrollbar {
I understand this works via ::-webkit-scrollbar, but I suspect the Android WebView used in the built app either doesn't fully honor this CSS pseudo-element the way Chrome does, or there's a native scrollbar layer sitting outside my page's DOM.
My question: Does Median disable the native Android WebView scrollbar (equivalent to webView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false) in the native Android API) anywhere in app settings — or could this be exposed as a build option? I've already tried the CSS route (including via Web Overrides) with no success, so I suspect this needs a native-level fix rather than injected CSS/JS.
For reference, another user hit the identical issue here and it looks unresolved:

Would appreciate any guidance on whether this is currently possible or on your roadmap.
Thanks!
