Cool work on a font, but this page is proof that google is turning the web into some kind of JSON for their app, Chrome.

Extremely sluggish on non-Chrome. Starts with a black blank empty page. Fans spinning. Takes way too long to load for just some text and some videos. Clicking a link does some SPA magic that takes me to another black blank page, and takes ages to load. Clicking back doesn't work anymore. I need to reload the entire page, again blank and waiting. Once done loading, scrolling is extremely sluggish.

Yes, there are probably some interactive widgets in there, but all that and much more has been done without bogging down the browser like you're running a 3D game on WebGL.

Oh, and of course reader mode doesn't work.

Just use Chrome on a MacBook Pro M4 like everyone else

It's not up to me to use Google's browser. It's up to them to make webpages that work for all.

No thanks, I'm good.

Use it on an Air and there aren't even fans to be spun up

This flashed back so many of these comments, I unconsciously reached for the downvote button. Well done sir.

Huh. Firefox on a mid-range android phone had no issues.

Works much better than desktop, but clicking back doesn't restore the scroll correctly, e.g. the link I clicked was hidden behind the header on return, disorienting.

I had no issues using Firefox on a 2021 M1 Pro or my Framework 13. Reader mode does not work, however.
