Wow if that is a news site, its design and UX is a breath of fresh air! No ads/clean, scroll to the bottom and the bottom of the site is clear with a nice little index and only a few little internal only article links. I cannot wait for a world where all the traditional online news sites are back to an inoffensive and untiring design like this, instead of the shameful spam links everywhere and especially at the never ending scroll/bottom of the sites. That is the worst experience ever, and compared with a lovely site like telex.hu, the difference is profoundly stark.

Telex.hu is a news site. It is one of the vestigial remains of the free press in Hungary.

I do see ads.

  You’re right I missed one. I guess it was fairly unobstrusive to me.. main thing I noticed though was the lack of the endless scroll with the spam ads. If every site could get rid of that, I’d be very pleased.

What a difference. I left when the entire content was covered by a pop up modal, probably a cookie confirmation, but in a language I couldn’t read.

  I was on Chrome iOS. Wonder if their mobile site has fewer ads.

The UX gets a big fat negative point for hijacking the scrollbar in a negative way; they make it very skinny, on Firefox it's particularly obnoxious.

Not sure if we are looking at the same thing. But for me, this this is not lightweight by any standard. It is using 26 MB resources(in which images are just a small part), has a dark pattern in cookie reject, also not sure what it is doing to scrolling but it is very janky if I scroll fast. Edit: Also time to interactive is 5s which is poor by any standard: https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftelex.hu%2Fenglish%2F2022%2F08%2F05%2Fthe-captured-american-spy-plane-which-crashed-during-a-hungarian-pleasure-flight&form_factor=desktop https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftelex.hu%...

Two news sites with great UX are both, oddly enough, radio sites: * https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/472090/chinese-warplanes-buzz-line-dividing-taiwan-strait-before-expected-pelosi-visit-source https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/472090/chinese-warplanes-bu... * https://www.npr.org/2022/08/06/1114420271/ukraine-kherson-counteroffensive-russia https://www.npr.org/2022/08/06/1114420271/ukraine-kherson-co...

> no ads Ha I don't open articles on my phone for this. Because I open one up and there is an ad after every paragraph, like holy hell what happened to 3?
