And you would be wrong. There's no problem with you creating an alternative design but claiming that the web or scrolling is broken is plain wrong and invites pointless controversy.

You do realize that this view is outdated by 10-20 years?
You are certainly welcome to your opinions but to assert them as fact is presumptuous.
I would never use Skimmer on a PC but it's terrific on an iPad (to some extent because the NY Times app is so miserable).
