On: Tolkien's Paintings

Arg, another website overriding the browser's scroll behavior. The art is amazing but I'm a bit annoyed by things scrolling by unnaturally.

hn: cool link, check it out

me: click, scrolling messed up, close the website

I'm not experiencing what you are describing. What browser are you using?

I'm using Brave (latest) on macOS (11.6.5) and it's working fine for me.

Latest Chrome, macOS 12.1, using the trackpad

The scrolling is awful: feels laggy and... squishy? oily? really hard to describe, but it's horrible. Also, it feels like the scrolling sticks at random times while scrolling.

I think it's an unholy combination of things: - the laggy easing on the scroll (primary culprit) - the massive occluding header which animates based on scroll direction - the resizing on page load

The easing isn't terrible, but all 3 together, not good

Chrome on OSX: Scrolling works fine, but _zoom_ pinching instead causes it to scroll as well, rather than zoom.

They also block right click.
