Future of the New York Times

The javascript-run inertial scrolling is too distracting from the article for me to be able to read it.

Looks like it's nicescroll[0], a jquery plugin (!!!).

If you had a browser extension that allowed you to execute js on each page you visited, the plugin can be turned off if you define `$.niceScroll = true`.

Maybe I should write that one day.

Naturally, on OS X, where scroll events are already inertia-ed by the time they reach the browser, this makes scrolling way too fast. As a bonus, it breaks the two-finger back/forward gestures, as well as cmd-{up, down} to go to the top or bottom. How nice...

That browser extension already exists, see https://github.com/defunkt/dotjs there are forks for other browsers and OS'
