Good lord. This site is objectively annoying on mobile. As soon as I load the page, full-screen cookie consent notice, paired with some support chat widget that was overlapping with the accept/decline buttons on the cookie consent form. Had to turn my phone to landscape mode to get the chat widget out of the way to handle the cookie consent.

Then, as soon as I accept the cookie consent form, the page immediately starts to reload. I cancel the reload/navigation, find the close button for the chat widget, and finally start to scroll and read the content after 20 seconds of fidgeting with the page.

Immediately as I start scrolling, I realize the app bar header banner thing at the top of the page is actually being rendered with position: sticky; or some equivalent, and to top things off they’ve actually done me the favor of including some marketing banner ad about their “video developer report survey” being available, and they went ahead and attached that on top of their app bar, and also made it sticky. I was delighted to see that there was in fact no way to close that ad, as well.

Seriously— why do we make sites like this? The top 1/3rd of my screen is a useless banner and app bar that I have no intent to use whatsoever, the bottom 1/5th of my screen is that stupid chat widget, all I have is… let me do the math here… give or take half of my phone screen to actually read the content of the site.

Mobile Firefox with uBlock Origin didn't have those issues for me. Even if they did, the built in reader mode usually fixes it. Just throwing that out there for people who want to avoid such nonsense.
