A site is hiding my vertical scrollbar. How do I force the site to show it to me? [More inside] (hexbear.net)

The site is the nytimes.com and I'm a desktop.

Test page - https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/12/world/israel-iran-us-nuclear

There's a delay (~3 seconds or so?) before they get annoying.

I poked around after using the inspector and I made some Ublock Origin filters...

[Edit - Today, I removed the code. I learned the paywall is far from soft. On article pages - my code fubar'ed the layout. Plus only the top ~1/3rd of articles appear the rest remains hidden.]

I have Bypass Paywalls Clean v4.1.4.0 but it's disabled for the the Times. If it's enabled the site often entirely blocks pages so I need to use Ublock - if I can.

If you get extra scroll bars in weird places, there's a decent chance this would work instead:

body {
    overflow-y: auto;
}
