I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the bane that is "progressive scrolling".
"No, we won't actually load the text at the bottom of the scollbar until you scroll down to it--and we'll only load it in a dribble." @#$%^&*()_+!
- bentcorner 3y agoI recall a site that had progressive scrolling and some content in a footer I was trying to get to...
- BLKNSLVR 3y agoBeen there done that. You have to scroll faster than the combination of bandwidth size and JS computation. Turn it into a game: visit the site progressively working backwards through your old phones until you can 'win'. Then see if you've got time to take a screenshot. If you actually need to click a link in the footer the only way to win is not to play.

- a_e_k 3y agoI hate this about the New Outlook, especially since I like to sort new messages to the bottom. And if I go to a different folder and back I have to deal with it all over again.
- kps 3y agoBreaks searching, too.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoSome sites do this and it's broken in that you have to scroll past it before it displays.
- toyg 3y agoEven better: automatic infinite scrolling. Wanna click on something in the footer, where useful contact details can typically be found? Ooops too late, it's gone!
