When would you use a horizontal scroll?
Horizontal scrolling is a good option for design portfolios and photography sites where users need to go through multiple images quickly and easily. Navigating vertically in these situations is chaotic and puts a lot of strain on the user.
Is horizontal scroll good?
Horizontal scrolling involves more effort since users typically have to move their mouse pointer to a specifically designated area on the screen and drag (while holding the mouse button) or click. In addition to this, some horizontal scrolling implementations make the design judder and hence impair user experience.
What is the function of the horizontal scroll?
A horizontal scroll bar enables the user to scroll the content of a window to the left or right. A vertical scroll bar enables the user to scroll the content up or down.

The Appeal of Horizontal Scrolling
The dominant standard for moving through long pages of content on desktop sites is by scrolling vertically. The conventional mouse and the scroll wheel make it easy for people to scroll up and down, thus reinforcing the pattern.
