When I checked the site yesterday after reading this, I found that npmx was indeed faster. And on npmjs.org, the back button was broken when browsing code on the site, here not.

However, I would be wary to adopt a third-party code browser for previewing dependency code, even more than using the auhtoritative one on npmjs.org.

Downloading an archive without executing anything and looking at the content would be better if done for getting a peek.

I don't get the strong dislike for the UI though, it looks solid to me. Aesthetically conservative and nothing new, but well-executed, responsive, tidy, and with attention to detail.
