Unbearable scrolling behavior in Chrome on a late 2013 MBP.
3 comments

I (and likely many others on this site) am tired of people complaining about weird-scrolling sites, but this one is exceptional: I can't get it to actually display the content! At some point scrolling gets somehow stuck and I can't scroll down anymore.
Works for me with Firefox 46 and no ad-blocker/script-blocker except uBlock.

However, navigating the page is confusing as hell, I stumbled through it by using the little arrows on my scrollbar. Everything else would catapult me to seemingly random positions on the page. Seems to me they hijacked scrolling to make "one line down" "one section down".

Not going to lie, after fighting with the scrolling, I closed the page and came here to look for an explanation what this is all about - not going to click any links there.

You just have to scroll harder. Seriously. Every time it got stuck for me I just tried scrolling faster and after a few swipes it would move on.

My fan is going crazy, and I'm having trouble even tabbing to another app on a mid-2014 MBP.
Ditto, that page used insane amounts of CPU or something
It runs really nicely on my 4.4 GHz i4790k windows pc. Get a better computer? ;)
Since when is a 4.4 GHz computer required to view a static presentation website?
I guess I should have used some explicit means of conveying sarcasm.
Hah, sorry it was lost in translation :)
