Ctrl + F doesn't work as expected. And even if it did, it would be a very odd, jumpy experience.
I want the world to scroll this way

Re: I want the world to scroll this way
#232Nothing happens. Is this a clever way of saying that nobody should scroll at all on the web? Why is this the top story on HN? Or is this saying that everybody should use Chrome? I don't. I use Firefox and it doesn't do anything either on Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 8. I have all three sitting right here. Nothing happens.

Another strabismic person weighing in ;) (Is that even the right word? People just call me cross-eyed...) I had eye surgerie(s?) when I was very young and don't really remember them. They probably helped, but I've avoided further surgery due to the "guinea pig" impression you describe, and the fact that I don't feel like my vision is severely inhibited. My depth perception is probably worse than that of other people,…
Ah! Hey, I'm willing to agree that it might just be my googly-eyes that this works for :) This question is for all of you with strabismic (yes, it is a word :D) eyes: Do you 'see' 3D movies? Or are all of them flat with red, blue and various outlines on the screen? For me, it's the latter. Now I have no idea if this has to do with this condition or is something else!
I can't see the 3d effects - it all looks 2d - but neither do I see red and blue lines or the like.

#234I tried this on a Wikipedia page and realised why scrolling is awesome: overview. I also realised why I often don't read long texts from my screen: I don't want to. I want find the answer to my question asap.

Ctrl-Shift-J, Ctrl-R - what do you see in the log?

There's a little "start scrolling" button in the lower right of the window. It took me five extremely confused minutes to find it.
Re: I want the world to scroll this way
#237I don't find it the least bit hard to read on the web, and traditional scrolling has never interfered with my reading pleasure, but I'm pretty excited about the fact that if I can get the scroll speed right on this thing, I can probably use this to read in bed on cold winter mornings without ever having to move a hand out from under my warm blankets to hit the pagedown key.
(I know I could use automatic scrolling for the same purpose, but I don't like it when the text is constantly moving.)

Is this on the page itself? Or is it when using the bookmarklet?
On the page itself. I can make the page work if I zoom out by pressing Ctrl/- three times or more (and reload the page afterwards). This is what I see without zooming - http://imgur.com/pGJuk
Are you on a netbook or otherwise slow computer?
I'll see what I can do to add some breaks to the page rendering loop. I get the impression that the Firefox version needs a bit of work.

I abhor 3d movies. The old style (with red and blue lenses) would cause me to alternate between flat red or blue images. The new sort just look like dark 2d--if I concentrate very hard I can occasionally notice certain "3d" effects but I'm certainly not getting the same experience as everyone else.
