Can I add sites that try and take over my scrolling ability so it's nice and "smooth" but just ruins my ability to scroll to the target area?

  I've been seeing that more and more lately and GOD it's obnoxious. It suddenly feels like my phone is out of controls because things aren't 'moving' right. I don't know why they think it's a good idea either. On most sites it's way too fast and on a few it's slow as molasses. At this point when I run into 90% of this stuff I switch to Reader mode in Safari, which also cures things like insane font sizes and pages that refuse to let you zoom in. Reader mode not available for your site? I won't read it. If you want to go out of your way to make it hard to read (not just ads that distract, but ones that cover up or things like scrolling that break basic interaction) then you must not want me reading your content.

    I feel the same way about ignoring content that is packaged in a user hostile manner. However, the sites that do it do not care whether you or I read the site, they only care about revenue, revenue, revenue. If they lose 85% of their audience but get better revenue, that's fantastic for them.

    They don't care if we read the content, they already got their page view

    I would love to have a mobile browser that opens everything in Reader mode by default, and gives me the option to switch out of it.
