Not sure if it is just me, but the background animation absolutely kill my browser (Chrome) and scrolling is _super_ laggy.

I'm using a high-end ThinkPad for CAD and it's slowing down the page for me too.

FWIW it's smooth on my $150 android shitbox.

the animation is so useless and doesnt add anything to the actual post

I would highly suggest to block JS while you're only browsing. It loads fast, most trackers won't load and better security as most browser exploits leverage JS all the time

I have a RTX Pro 6000 as my main GPU currently, and this website pins it to ~40% utilization! Never seen a website do that before, some sort of kudos to the webmaster is deserved.

It still renders smoothly though and doesn't go above 40C so I guess it could have been worse.

I had no performance problems on my Thinkpad T410.

Oh wait, it's because it is too old to have WebGL support so the background crashed and thus consumed no processing power.

40% might just mean nothing because your core is probably not running at full clock.

With that website open, runs at 2850 MHz to be specific, it normally idles at 400-500 MHz with ~20 processes (firefox, gnome-shell, alacritty, etc, etc) using the GPU

The worst part to me is the lack of a scroll bar. Had to dust off the pgup/pgdown keys to check my progress in the article.

>13 years old hardware, Linux, Chromium-based browser, seems fine to me.

Exactly this. I was surprised to see these comments and then I realized that NoScript blocked the JS (as it should have). The web is so much nicer without JS.
