What in the world are they doing with scroll behaviour? Stop it.

The scrolling is fully muxed on my end too. It's amazing how over-coolifying your site can turn it into a garbage patch.

On the bright side, I don't see a custom cursor. Thats 90s style ;-)

55 external scripts with a plethora of jquery plugins just to show some text content :(

At least this site looks halfway acceptable when accessed with RequestPolicy, adblocker and script blocker. At least it degrades nicely.

It seems nothing ever really changes.

In the 90s people would put totally unnecessary ActiveX and Java applets on their sites that would slow down already slow web browsers.

Then came the era of unnecessary "javascripts" downloaded from sites having 1000s of those.

Then came flash, entire websites were made in it, and they were full of bells and whistles that nobody wanted.

Now we have HTML5 and CSS3, and people are still doing stupid unnecessary stuff with it. It never changes, and it never will.

I guess creating gimmicks is just human nature.

At least you could block flash.

Last time I happened on a site with scrolling like this they had a JQuery plugin that screwed everything up. And sure as rain:

This sort of scroll behaviour is supposed to be local to the client, not to the website. This sort of stuff breaks accessibility - if the user likes it, the browser (most likely an extension) can implement it.

This scrolling is horrible on devices that already implement momentum scrolling (mac).

I can't imagine how horrible it must be on there. I have a Logitech MX (free-wheel mouse) and smooth scrolling enabled. I'm still dizzy.
