I'm sorry that the first comment on this story is off-topic, but can someone explain why some websites have this weird scrolling behavior? Is this a JavaScript thing that is supposed to improve something? Why does anyone do this? Scrolling this website with the trackpad on my MacBook feels ... wobbly. It distracted me again and again while reading the article. As if someone is slightly pulling on the newspaper you are holding in your hand while you are reading it.

I wanted to comment the exact same thing.

I guess they are trying to mimic Safari's built-in inertial scrolling on every other platform, but they can't do it perfectly, so it actually ends up breaking scrolling in Safari. Sad and pointless.
