Personally I am not a fan of horizontal navigation that breaks scrollwheels.

People get through websites with scrollwheels. Forcing people to use non-standard scrolling (left right) AND forcing them to do with click handles... I wonder if they're keeping data on how many people see the main preview and quit out versus how many actually see the other 5+ slides...

I clicked on "press" at the bottom (which happened to be at the bottom left of the screenshot on my device). Thinking it meant, "press me to continue" (which seemed a bit weird). Nope. It's their press page.

So, yeah, the "what's new" page is real clunky, but I haven't, so far, been offended by the changes to their actual design. I haven't used it much since the changeover, but DDG is my primary search engine, so I'll probably have opinions on it soon.

I did the exact same thing. "How does this work? What am I supposed to do? Oh I'll press the press button!"
I felt kinda dumb after finding myself on the press page. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one similarly fooled.
