#12I like the idea (hate the site), but what does it do to my battery life?

#13Not often you encounter a site that makes scrolling choppy.
Works great in my browser that hasn't been updated - except by me, mainly to keep it running - in about 10 years.

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
Firefox by any chance? Ran recently into another site on here that scrolled fine on anything except Firefox. And this one seems to be fine on safari.
Firefox Android is fine albeit laggy. I don't get why one has to customize scroll behavior but I don't do mobile UX myself.
Last time i checked it's not laggy because they messed with the scroll, but because of some fancy CSS that firefox has trouble with.

I'm pretty sure that's because the entire of the site has an 8px Gaussian blur on it: .site-main[data-astro-cid-bpoqdqeq] { backdrop-filter:blur(8px); } Why, exactly? The page looks visually identical when I disable that rule, but the performance skyrockets. I realize that it's probably vibecoded, but come on.
does it not affect the vignette effect? i can't test it (on the phone) but performance seems fine for me (and i have js jit disabled lol)
yes they should have tested the site on firefox, but idk i wouldn't expect css gaussian blur of all things to cause slowdowns in some browsers

For $DEITY sake, this surprised me. Such inadequate performance on a 9800x3d + RX9070XT. How? Don't people test anything anymore?
Damn.

#20I've been telling people since 2018 that any and all attempts to "hide" from data collection is a pointless endeavor unless you're willing to live solo out in the woods. The future of privacy rests in poisoning the well of information about yourself, which is why I regularly and randomly make google searches for things I have no interest in and places I will never go or haven't been, prompts for topics pulled out of a hat, and shopping sites for things I don't want or need.
