Hacker News Reader

Ah, yeah, I see now. I can recreate the problem on desktop. On my mobile it works. Indeed, the scrollbar is implemented to override the browser's.

Why go to archive.ph, though, when you can go directly to https://melsloop.com/docs/mels-hack-the-missing-bits ? - should work nicely on mobile.

I use archive.xx to strip the original page of accessibility obstacles, such as modals and home-made scrolling behavior.

Though most of the time I encounter such nonsense, I just close the tab and move on. There is rarely good content behind it.

Presumably because the archive.ph version is actually scrollable cross-browser (or with JS turned off).
