This site is f*cking unusable on mobile.
The cookie banner pops up and is half the screen.
Then an offer pops up and takes 30% of the screen.
Before I can even figure out where the X button is - probably behind the inexplicable "copy link" button - a newsletter subscription modal pops up.
Clicking the X wasn't responding.
Then the tab froze.

- ectopod 5y agoAnd if you don't enable javascript you only get two paragraphs of text. Yet the article's complete HTML is hidden in the page as a quoted string in a javascript object. Brilliant!
- teach 5y agoI didn't downvote you, but I suspect others are doing so because your comment goes against one of HN's guidelines: > Please don't complain about website formatting, back-button breakage, and similar annoyances. They're too common to be interesting.
- junon 5y agoYou're right, thanks for pointing it out. Normally don't even bother with these but it was an exceptionally bad instance.
- yellowapple 5y ago> They're too common to be interesting. This alone feels like a good reason why people should vocally object to such annoyances. "They're common and therefore we shouldn't bother talking about them" only lets the problem continue to fester.
- dpbriggs 5y agoFirefox's reader mode makes it readable.
- yellowapple 5y agoThe first two paragraphs, at least. I'm assuming that's the entirety of the article because it's fucking 2021 and I therefore really can't be assed to put up with Reader-Mode-incompatible web design.
