i5-12400, Firefox here. Smooth as butter. No fans. Then again this is a desktop machine.

But I find these sites 100% unnecessary. Just put all your shit in the first section so I don't have to scroll. There's about half a screen of content surrounded in an ocean of bollocks.

The i5-12400 is actually a really fast CPU. Basically any desktop CPU released since AMD scared Intel into actually trying again is pretty fast, even the supposed low-mid range ones.
Yes indeed massively impressed with this machine. Cost bugger all as well (Lenovo Neo 50S gen3)
I agree (scrolling to "immerse the reader" is unnecessary, let your content speak), but it would be equally annoying to have a site about a new scrolling library refuse to use it.

That would be like all those news articles that talk about interesting would-be visual things without providing images.

I think people are mad because they disagree with the whole reason the library exists in the first place. Sure, obviously the site advertising the scrolling library should probably use the scrolling library. But it's still an awful idea and just shouldn't exist in the first place.
But the whole point of the website is scrolling, they had to include scrolling.
