Ah yes, website talks about "the bloat of x11 and Wayland", and doesn't even scroll correctly on Firefox mobile likely due to some JavaScript fuckery.

Practice what you preach. And practice first.

Not JavaScript in this case, just CSS bloat (backdrop-filter).

another comment on a different HN thread pointed out a similar issue. Now I'm wondering if backdrop-filter can be used correctly at all or should just be avoided entirely

Scrolling is pretty bad on Firefox desktop as well. So bad that I didn't want to finish the article.

Why do people do this?

What do you mean by "pretty bad"? I'm on Zen (Firefox based) and the scrolling seems to work fine. But maybe it's getting resource constrained on some hardware.

Weird. I can't reproduce the slowness you guys experience with fennec nor ironfox.

They only tested in Chrome.

I guess the site scrolls smoothly in a TUI browser?

which, wierdly enough I am useing, and the site scrolls just fine,my browswr has NO java script, No Dom storage, no images/video displayed though there are a few websites that have some kind of alternate way to display images in short video loops that auto play

edit:videos are mp4's

I don't see any suspicious JS on the page, so I suspect it's a styling issue triggering some inefficiency in Firefox. There are animations and text-shadows.
