    Just post the bloody content. This UI/scrolling thing is horrific.

      ???

      It's just a standard hero image + text for me, with no scrolling effects.

      edit: @iAMkenough figured it out, it was because I have prefers-reduced-motion enabled.

        If you're at the top of the screen, at least in Chrome 153.0.8010.37, it has a little interactive bit. You have to scroll through the images in order to be dropped at the actual web page, at which point the images go back to being a regular part of the page.

        I agree that it's sort of stupid, not a fan.

      Turn on "reduce motion" in your accessibility settings and you get served a sane version.

      Totally! So unnecessary and annoying.

      I told my team to smack me upside the head if I ever try to ship something so daft as that.

      Claude Opus 5.6 should have a new "UX safety" feature that requires annually-renewed preauthorization to generate webpages that hijack scrolling :)

      The performance in Firefox is terrible too, I couldn't make it past the hero

        To be slightly fair to Anthropic, Qwen does even worse IMO: their model announcements don’t actually show any content at all for me on Mobile Safari. The content box shows up but is just a pulsing animation that never gets replaced by text. At least Anthropic’s announcement works once I manage to scroll it far enough.

          The fix for this is to tap the overflow menu icon and choose “Reduce privacy protections”. (Wtf, Alibaba?) This appears to be related to use of iCloud Private Relay.
