Ironically, that page fails with JS disabled.

Related: I've spent more than a few minutes on sites unwrapping carouseled content to just display stacked on the page. It's fucking annoying.

Carousels are definitely overused, but they can still be a solid choice, depending on your design goals. If you just want to make people look at more ads, then most people will not bother.

But, I clicked all the way through before reading the comments here because I found it a compelling way to tell their story.

edit: actually, I happily clicked through this: https://duckduckgo.com/about The "what's new" carousel did feel a little tedious.

FYI, the /whatsnew site seems to be roughly unusable on my iPhone; I can't switch bullet without making some weird unreproducible gesture.

I love this. I'm excited to share with friends. In fact I looked for a sharing button. Anyway, looks nice. It wouldn't scroll on my iPad and a button for Press at bottom right is cut off, but maybe those are known issues.
