- clydethefrog 10y agoGlad I am not the only one. This seems to be the problem: https://twitter.com/tlakomy/status/849156272524021760 https://twitter.com/tlakomy/status/849156272524021760 Since they have not fixed it, almost would think it's by design? It definitely forces you to read the article slowly... fast scrolling is discouraged.
- hashhar 10y agoI'm amazed. What browser do you use? Firefox is flying by really well (that too on a Core i3 5th gen + NVIDIA 920m with 8GB RAM). This sounds nuts.
- lsadam0 10y agoMy money is on IE. No self respecting, self aware, SA reader ever used INERNAT EXPLRAR.
- lobo_tuerto 10y agoI'm on Ubuntu with Google Chrome.
- hashhar 10y agoI think it could be some issue with hardware acceleration then? The link is a bit old so I don't know if things are still the same, but I used this long ago. http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/enable-hardware-acceleration-in-chrome.html http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/enable-hardware-acceleration-...
- Kenji 10y agoHey, you have the same setup as I do! Yeah, I have that problem too. It's sluggish. It is truly remarkable how wasteful websites like these are.
- peterwwillis 10y agoThis is literally the only reason I have upgrade a machine for the past 6 years. Web pages are too slow. Rendered text. I tried to install TurboTax [2016] on a small Windows partition. Turns out i'm an idiot, because I only left 5GB free, and it requires 5.2 gigabytes to install. I hate modern software.
- lacampbell 10y agoYou think you can run artisanal handcrafted websites using cutting edge JS frameworks on that lugubrious relic!?
- nonbel 10y agoWith noscript + request policy blocking everything the content loads perfectly fine. Everything else is apparently unnecessary junk.
