This article is interesting but it's also completely unreadable in Firefox and Edge because they inexplicably decided to render black text on top of relatively dark photos.
??? What is with modern newspaper site design these days? Every time they update their designs it gets harder to read them, even though they're trying to convince me to pay for it.
- bogomipz 9y agoIt was also unreadable for me because before I was able to read a single word I was presented with a pop up to connect with them on Facebook. Thats my queue to hit the back button.

- isostatic 9y agoYou could also sign up with an email address. I attempted "fuck@off.com", but it said "please use another email". Heh. Either way by the time I'd got past that level I'd forgotten why I was there in the first place so I'm off to youtube to watch kitten videos.
- vhartman 9y agoIt's not only that. I was unable to read any text even after the facebook-popup since scrolling did only sometimes lead to scrolling, and arrows did not do anything either. How was I supposed to view this website?
- matt4077 9y agoI ran into the same problem until I disabled ad blocking. Which I want to do anyway for high-quality journalism. It's unfortunate that there's no blacklist that explicitly tries to allow for quality content to be financed by non-intrusive advertisement such as here.
- jrockway 9y agoI couldn't read it in Chrome. I scrolled down with the mouse wheel, but then it stopped working, and I never saw any text.
- Thriptic 9y agoTry using the arrow keys, that worked for me. I also had to highlight the entire page because someone thought it was a good design decision to use black text on a dark background. Oh and also none of their real time stats work; they all show up as 0 -_-
- FabHK 9y agoSame in Safari on macOS, annoying (non-standard) scrolling (have to target the little text box with your mouse before you can scroll, can't scroll with keyboard, ...), and then black text over dark background picture. POS. EDIT: might be my adblocker, yeah. I'm just wondering what I like less - annoying nagging (Forbes, spiegel.de, ...), or reduced functionality...
- maxerickson 9y agoEdit: actually, no, it doesn't, it misses much of the text. Reader View in Firefox 55 works fine.
