Sorry for not commenting on the linked article, but websites that mess with scrolling really irritate me, almost irrationally. I'm quite comfortable scrolling, the innovation in trackpads over recent years has made it almost pleasant to scroll down a page, why oh why do people feel the need to add some sort of script where when I scroll 1cm it jumps 4 pages down, then when I try and move a tiny bit it erratically jumps a paragraph and then all the way to the top of the article!

I agree, I couldn't handle the scrolling. Good job though!
And it disabled the swipe to go back gesture on Mac. I wish there was some way to disable scroll takeovers.
Open up your browser's debug tools and throw this in to the console `document.addEventListener('mousewheel', function (event) { event.stopPropagation(); });`
@iDemonix Sorry for the inconvenience, I am not sure how to fix this issue but trying to figure it out. Thank you for the feedback.
