Also hijacks `ctrl + scrollwheel` zoom control. Ew.
Was going to say that!

Completely agree. Doesn't even matter what the page says, the scrolling is so bad I left as quickly as I could.
It physically hurts

Same. Left because scrolling.
There is one: Pressreader. I think it does a decent job of it, and doesn't break the gestures. You just may need to exit the "scroll" part of the page (think microfiche reader?).

Each push of my mouse wheel moves the content about one character width. (Firefox 71 on Windows)

Until HN I wasn't aware it was a problem. Of course, I didn't conduct user studies either. I use a Magic Trackpad on desktop and basically the same thing on my MBP so it felt natural for me to implement.
What's your preferred method of input and platform?
To say nothing of the content, the site is a UX Dumpster™ fire. Look at the home page.
There's no world in which you can: make your website scroll horizontally, disable horizontal scroll, make vertical scrolling actually scroll horizontally and have users be okay with it.
