Are you kidding me? Sideways scroll with no way to use my scroll wheel? It's choppy and unreadable scrolling using the scrollbar, and using the right arrow is just too slow.
I kind of felt that the slowness of using the right arrow to scroll was kind of the point. Even holding it down, you're moving significantly faster than light. And it still takes an age to get anywhere.
Yep it doesn't. So actually, on chrome, without an autoscroll extension, there is no way to scroll that page (apart from the with the right cursor button, which is way to slow to actually be valid) on a normal desktop pc. Happy new world.
Using a trackpad would mean I'm hunched over my laptop trying to destroy my back and neck further than I already have. Designing websites specifically for anti-ergonomic use cases is unwise.
Designing for one thing that's really good in a world of things that are average, isn't the best strategy. Reminds me of "Designed for IE6" and look where that got us.
I think that is Apple's mistake. I have to go into settings and turn the two finger pref/next pages to three, three finger spaces swipe to four just to avoid the problem you described.
And why the hell don't they enable "tab to all controls" by default?
It is actually far too fast, several times the speed of light. If you really wanted to realize how vast and empty space is, you should make it scroll slower.
I think sticking to the speed of light for scrolling transitions would put things even more into perspective (though make the content a little harder to reach haha).
shift + scroll wheel works okay, but really, it should have been scrolling vertically. horizontal scrolling doesn't really add anything to the site but inconvenience for the viewer.
