I hate it too, mostly from a developer stand point 😂

Why not use a horizontal scrolling menu?

Can you share some examples?

Bear.app has a really neat one. It just turns on overflow-x scroll when the viewport gets smaller.

I'm not a fan of the bear.app menu - on mobile it looks cut-off, and if I hadn't come to it through this post I wouldn't have easily realised I could scroll it. It also doesn't scroll without touch (or keyboard focus), I originally opened it on my PC and resized the window, and I couldn't get to the end of the menu using the mouse.

That’s a very good point. On certain breakpoints you won’t see if there’s more. There’s a way to remedy that with some css magic (local background attachment), but it’s not really a perfect solution.
