I don't know what's going on, but scroll either doesn't work or I get pulled back to the top of the page every 0.1s. It's unnerving.

This is on an Android phone.

Scroll horribly broken on desktop Firefox too.

the video was laggy and then the page felt like it froze on chrome

That doesn't seem to apply to Firefox on Linux. Works well on Vivaldi browser (Chrome-based) on Linux too.

By the way, I don't use any ad blockers.

Lots of weirdness in my usual chrome browser too. Though I've got adblock. In Safari it actually worked ok.

Page contents repeatedly flash in and out of existence for me, running ublock.

Stuck in a loop on iOS too. Pretty embarrassing for any website, nevermind one from a technology company.

This here is a very good example of how NOT to make a webpage.

Disagree. As an advert-page, for their demographic, it may very well be a great example.

Edit: I am looking at it on a Mac and not in a phone browser, so I may have missed some of the issues others are reporting.

Weird...I'm on a linux desktop and the scrolling is just awful.

Same here on Windows/Chrome. Mousewheel scrolling jumps all over the place, grabbing the scrollbar does nothing, and all of the animations constantly restart after playing for a few frames.

Looks a little like a parked domain page.

if you open your JS console, you'll see that the page reloads every second.

What the fuck is wrong with people who develop sites like this. Just stop. Use HTML and CSS and stop trying to fuck around with basic things like scrolling. It's so fucking self important.

I thought it was a fantastic site. Got me interested, got me to scroll all the way and told me everything I needed to know in a very visual way. I really liked this page.

Ah... just when you thought it couldn't get more annoying

When I first read about these in WSJ I was very skeptical, but now I am fairly certain these will perform well. They are a cool fashion accessory.

Is there only one model? From their pictures, it seems for women AND men, but the design is not enough generic, it's really girly, even for some "cool and fashionable young" boys.

By the way, I'm in the target and I would prefer a new pair of Persol, Rayban or whatever and continue to use my iPhone for snapshat. Maybe this product can perform well in the US, but I'm really less confident for Europe.
