(which it shouldn't have). It would be recommended to keep the scroll-wheel action (on desktops) and screen-swipe gesture (on mobile) to allow the user to scroll as usual, but have browser scroll bar hidden to prevent stops between blocks. | |

It only provides one (or two, if you count the indication of the page edge) of the functions of the scroll bar and kills one entire way of navigation. | |
