   In Firefox reader mode, there's like 5 paragraphs of text. I am unable to digest the content on the website itself. Can someone confirm if the 5 paragraphs is the whole content or if I have large parts of it missing?

      Turn off reader there are graphics along with the paragraphs. Reminds me of the complaints that used to be super common from people religiously refusing to enable javascript and complaining when breaking the site breaks the site.

         Why do you think people refused to enable javascript?

         1. Xirdus · 1786034778 · focus · HN ↗

            I don't refuse to enable JS. I do, however, refuse to use website with broken scrolling. It makes me physically sick.

               Does this site do that to you?

                  Very much so. It's one of the worst cases (but not the worst, not even the worst this week) I've seen around here.

                     What's broken about the scroll? For me it acts like basically any other scrolling presentation design used on hundreds of different websites.

                        And hundreds of different websites are unusable or borderline so. This is one of the negative effects of JS, but at this point the JS of those times isn't even the worst, because you'd be able to block and modify parts of it to some degree. The latest trends are going further and further in not just running user-hostile code on my machine but in a way that can't even be modified.
