[Ignore this, everything is ok now] For me the website is slow as to border on unusable. I have one core at 100% on Firefox 115 / Debian 11, I guess there is a busy loop somewhere in the JS. Works fine on Chrome(ium). I know it is usually frowned upon to comment on the website itself rather than the content, but considering the nature of the website, I think it is relevant. Edit: Looked in a bit more detail and it looks CSS-related, not JS-related as removing the main style sheet fixes the problem. It happens even in safe mode (no extensions). Possibly a Firefox bug (version is 115.12.0esr, from the Debian 11 repository), but it doesn't happen anywhere else. Edit2: Updated my system, rebooted, etc... it fixed the problem. So either I had something messed up with my system, or the author fixed it, anyway, everything is ok now.

I know it’s frowned upon and even in the guidelines, but I never understood why. This is Hacker News, the meta discussion on how a site works (or doesn’t) is as relevant and its content.

  I think HN is aiming for thoughtful and novel comments on the content of the article; complaints like "page loaded slowly" are shallow. The parent comment feels more on-point since the article is about optimizing websites and the post is itself a demo. I'm seeing <1% CPU on Firefox/Debian, but I have video autoplay turned off (I rarely want to watch them).

    Shallow comments are always bad, but a thorough examination on what’s triggering that infinite loop, if that’s really type case, would be great IMO, regardless of what the article is discussing in the first place.

The web is slowly becoming chrome only and I hate it. I recently had to switch to Chromium because Firefox simply did not work for the websites at my job.
