Agree, it's a pleasure to use a site that isn't burdened by tons of ads, tracking scripts, and tries to re-implement scrolling (badly) if you visit from a mobile device.
See theverge.com for an example of a site that doesn't even scroll smooothly on my android phone.
But it's really great to have a page that loads nearly instantly - the ratio of information provided : loading time is very good.
Other pages take an age to load (and Chrome on iOS has an annoying "feature" where the address can't be selected and copied until the page has almost finished loading).
