there's something seriously wrong with this archived link. It's not staying still for one moment. It's constantly twitching and the text scrolls to weird positions. It's unreadable because of this.

Is it the archive at fault or is the original webpage this way?

It constantly reloads for me (Firefox.) Just hit X which replaces the reload button while the page is loading and it will stop.

Disable JavaScript, reason #99e99.

Works for me here, and in 90% of the cases where someone complains of annoying page behaviour (cookie banners, revenue optimizations, subscription solicitations, "click here to ...", paywalls, ads, et alii ad nauseam).

Seriously, just disable JavaScript on unknown/untrusted/undeserving sites. It makes the web tolerable.

ah well... this is a first for me where I need to disable JS. Thanks!

Is there actually a whitelist of sites where it's OK/necessary to enable JS ? I'd love to use that (although, I don't know how to load that list into safari or chrome.)

Why use a whitelist from someone else, I disable it manually per page by using something like https://github.com/maximelebreton/quick-javascript-switcher, but there are more of those in the chrome webstore.
