The expressed goal is emotionally impacting UX. They clearly got strong emotions out of you. Mission accomplished!

It's not just a laggy mouse. I scrolled through half a page of a completely black screen. On a high powered machine with lots of bandwidth and low latency.

The designers here have lost the plot.

    I'm on mobile and scrolled through most of this waiting for images to load, and wondering why I didn't see any.

    Very unusually, everything is working and smooth on Fennec F-Droid for me. Usually it's the opposite but it happens more often these days.

      I know you aren't supposed to comment on it, but man, you just never know what will set people off on this site, and god knows they won't tell you. Are people bothered that I chimed in to say "works for me" or that I insinuated Fennec F-Droid is usually less smooth than the Webkit-based mobile browsers? I'll never know for sure. Sometimes with Hacker News, whether a comment is actually well-received feels like a dice roll.

    Working perfectly fine in LibreWolf on macOS. Huh.

      The cursor was laggy for about 10-15 seconds on my M4 Max after the page loaded, my only sin is probably not using Chrome.

      34% modernity, 32% subculture, 30% rebelliousness made me cringe.

Macbook air M1 scrolls text in Firefox fast and smoothly...

    I don't think it's performance bottlenecking so much as that the site is capturing the cursor and taking over its physics/acceleration, I think? Which probably isn't noticeable as long as the acceleration is similar to how your OS shell is configured, but was definitely noticeable for me on GNOME.

    “then spend zero brainpower on systems without graphics acceleration”

      I don't know what graphics acceleration mean in this context, but my 5-year old computer, with 4 Gb of RAM and no discreet graphics card didn't witness any lag.
