White text over white images on https://duckduckgo.com/whatsnew https://duckduckgo.com/whatsnew - not very readable! (Edit: How odd; a reload caused the page to be displayed differently, with the images below the text and icons.)

Yeah I noticed that as well on the first click its all thrown at the center, and a reload fixes it.

I experienced the exact same behavior. I'm guessing it's probably the result of some plugin.

Yeah looks like it's a typo in the CSS. There's a unitless height value that's generally ignored but causes problems for some browsers apparently. A fix should go out in the next deploy, but in the meantime you can apply a local style to fix it (for the curious)... .page-whatsnew .site-wrapper--static, .page-whatsnew .content-wrap, .blk--whatsnew { height: auto; }

Personally I am not a fan of horizontal navigation that breaks scrollwheels. People get through websites with scrollwheels. Forcing people to use non-standard scrolling (left right) AND forcing them to do with click handles... I wonder if they're keeping data on how many people see the main preview and quit out versus how many actually see the other 5+ slides...

  I clicked on "press" at the bottom (which happened to be at the bottom left of the screenshot on my device). Thinking it meant, "press me to continue" (which seemed a bit weird). Nope. It's their press page. So, yeah, the "what's new" page is real clunky, but I haven't, so far, been offended by the changes to their actual design. I haven't used it much since the changeover, but DDG is my primary search engine, so I'll probably have opinions on it soon.

    I did the exact same thing. "How does this work? What am I supposed to do? Oh I'll press the press button!"

      I felt kinda dumb after finding myself on the press page. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one similarly fooled.
