The JavaScript on that site was really irritating to the point that I couldn't finish reading it. Interfering with srolling makes for a horrible experience if the user is on a touchscreen.
- dredmorbius 12y agoDefinitely a straight-to-Readability experience for me.
- microcolonel 12y agoI only whitelist scripts per site (I use ScriptBlock when I'm on Chrome, and NoScript in Firefox). It's not as annoying as you'd think, and makes most websites significantly better in ways you might never have imagined possible. Scrolljacking is mostly not an issue, timed advertisements simply don't pop up in front of you, you don't get those annoying survey popovers. Also, if you use it correctly, you can avoid the need for an ad blocker(in conjunction with a /etc/hosts file which excludes advertising domains, such as the one provided at http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/), which means that you don't have all of that adblock overhead, which is tens of megabytes per tab in chrome, in addition to a pile of CSS rules which make layout also slower. I use these two on my Acer C720P and it really helps the web not suck as much, enjoy.
