I tend to flip back and forth from hacker news articles (e.g. check slack, check build progress). I try to position the page while scrolling so I can find my place back in the text. That alternates from "align top of content section to top of scroll pane" and "align bottom of section content to bottom of scroll pane" depending on the length of the section. I also do it unconsciously as I read, like a habit, to prepare the page in case I need to jump away.

Of the two, I probably favour aligning to the top. But since I alternate I would probably have changed to inline.
