I enjoy that it's a long list that is loaded in its entirety instead of using infinite paging or some sort of virtualization. It's simple and ctrl-f just works, unlike on say, twitter.
It’s such a joy to have to scroll down n times to try to go where you were. It’s even better when on some websites, the “infinite scrolling” is not sequential but somewhat randomized.
I understand it’s way easier to scale pagination that way, but please, just stop.
Facebook has the most Fun with tabs: you go to the new tab and wait for it to load everything. And then it loads everything again in a slightly different overlay! You have to open it in a new tab, of course, or the video you're trying to watch will vibrate around your screen from comment sections growing above it, and pop out into a different view.
They are. But every improvement is matched by websites getting even larger.
