different scrollbar on 11.4 M1 vs Intel

Hi,


Does anyone have an idea on why the scrollbar looks different on M1 macs (tested on mini M1) vs Intel macs running the eact same software version ?


On my M1 mac mini, i see the scrollbar next to the content in browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) as opposed to being an overlay covering a bit of the right part of the viewport in Intel Macs. Does it have to do with the window manager being different ? Is there any work around to this ?
