In case the creator is reading this, please don't break scrolling. This page scrolls impossibly slowly for me. (Firefox 37.0.2, OSX 10.10.3)

  I'm on a desktop. My mouse has a scrollwheel. My scrolling is perfectly fine on pretty much every other website. Why should I be expected to know to "drag to scroll" as if I'm doing all my web browsing on a smartphone emulator?

  Drag is already assigned to an operation.

Also, please don't break the middle mouse button. I use it to open a bunch of new tabs when reading the text.

Note to author: I didn't bother to read the page because scrolling and navigating was horridly broken. Do not hijack the scrollbar and/or mouse navigation.

  Strange. I could scroll using the scrollbar or two-finger scroll-gestures on the trackpad (plus by dragging the text, which is unusual) and I'm using Chrome for OSX. What platform are you on that has this problem?

    Windows and Linux. Scroll is broken due to author. Did not read content due to scroll-hijack.

Guys, stop reinventing the wheel. http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ Browsers already implement scrolling better than you (or any of us) ever can.

  Hilarious ... and even that site resorts to Javascript.

    And according to the mentioned site, it is impossible to have a website without google-analytics.

  We reimplement Scroll because browsers like FireFox don't let you apply CSS for scroll bars, forcing you to have the OS's scrollbar branding (colors, style, etc..) in the middle of your page's branding. The last thing you want to do with your brand is to have someone else take it over.

    Understood but I think you got on the wrong side of the tradeoff. 99.999% of sites use the browser scrollbar and that should be a hint (check apple.com and tell me they don't care about branding.) Do you really want to be remembered as the site with a great tech demo AND a bad scrollbar? How can that be an improvement over just "a great tech demo"? Furthermore I don't appreciate brands taking over my desktop and reducing the usability of my browser (and your site) but that could be just me.

    Seriously? You think you can do a better job at implementing scrollbar than browser makers? And you have the resources to test on every_single_device out there? And you really think I would even notice the scrollbar if it worked? Just don't.
