firefox still doesn't have proper scrollbar styling. it's a div, or more precisely, a JavaScript-driven fake scrollbar layered over a hidden native one. Still paranoid I didnt migrate all of the bars over and I forgot some dusty neglected app somewhere in the depths...

the core of the system is win98-scrollbar.js, a library that attaches custom scrollbar elements any scrollable div. The actual scrollbar is hidden via scrollbar-width: none (firefox) and ::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none } (chrome/safari). the Win98-style track, thumb, and arrow buttons are rendered as absolutely-positioned DOM elements that mirror the scroll state of the container.

OverlayScrollbars (similar to SimpleBar) was originally an option as well. But you're welcome to use win98-scrollbar.js - although it assumes certain DOM patterns, the two-div split for inset borders, portal dropdown handling, etc
