That is the laggiest animation I've ever seen :( Totally unusable (Chrome on Android, Pixel 7). Is there a text version?

This is also totally unusable for me on Chrome on M1 Pro.

It makes all Chrome windows unusable, when the tab with this page is displayed.

Already mentioned above before I saw this comment but I'll pile on. Firefox on Linux workstation is really bad. Chromium much better but the scrolljacking is still really bad

Completely unusable on M3 Pro @ 64GB! Safari latest Mac OS

I wondered whether my page had crashed.

I couldn't get anything to work.

Laggily zooms a bit…then breaks on iOS becoming a big scrollable white page. I bet when it works the animation is kind of neat.

So much work to bounce your readers, pity!

Could be because the Pixel 7 GPU is quite weak even though it's not an alle phone so heavy Websites can bring it to its knees.

A text story should not bring a phone to its knees.

What's an alle phone?

I've never seen the phone lag on any other website. Hell, my Pixel 1 or Nexus phones didn't have issues either. I've never seen lag like this on any website, period... I don't think it's a GPU thing. Probably there is some condition that makes it really laggy on some devices and not others. Hmm.

The page runs quite smooth once you get past the title to the actual text.

(Chrome on Android, Pixel 7)

I'm on a 13900K with an RX 6600 and it is barely usable for me as well. Firefox tho... just tested in Chrome and it is better after the initial scroll but that first move is a killer.

Yeah, Firefox on my office desktop (10-core i9 with 16GB RAM. Crap GPU though) was unresponsive for a good 30 seconds before I was able to close the tab. Worried for a sec that I'd have to force close the browser.

it's not even about slowness, I just can't read more than a single paragraph with those intrusive animations. vertigo sets in immediately...

Interesting, worked fine for me. Also using chrome on Pixel 7.

Totally unusable on iPhone 14 Pro.
