Ask HN: Browser plugins to unfuck scrolling?
I've been googling for this all morning, but can't find anything. My problem is this:
I love scrolling web pages, this is how I can reach the content at the bottom :) I also happen to love the pixel-smooth scrolling of OS X and I mainly use 13" laptops, so the vertical space is scarce.
The latest improvements in CSS, particularly the introduction of position:fixed has been slowly ruining the web, in my opinion. Try scrolling down this page, for example: http://www.millcreekplaces.com/community/zilkr-on-the-park-apartments-in-austin
It's ridiculous. The "parallax" effect makes it even worse: retina displays can barely handle regular scrolling - they're noticeably more laggy than non-retina on a same screen size, but parallax completely destroys the experience: Not only I can't see much because of "stuck" headers/footers, but the smoothness of scrolling is gone as well.
THE question: are you aware of browser plug-ins that help fight this insanity? Thank you.
