Can't seem to replicate that here (m4 macbook), but I'll keep it open for a bit and see what happens. Thanks for letting me know!

Scrolling is unusable on that page for me:

Computer: Apple M3 Max

macOS: 14.7.3 (23H417)

Google Chrome 134.0.6998.118

I also tried in my "clean" chrome profile (to rule out extensions) and it's still got really bad scroll lag. This happens as soon as I open the page.

Here is a video though I understand it's hard to convey since you can't see when/how much I'm scrolling. I can tell you I scrolled slowly down and back up consistently through this video.

Even worse, I just found that having that tab open (and visible) makes Chrome (no other app) laggy everywhere. Something is definitely wrong with that page. Also that page was open in a different chrome profile and it still made my main chrome profile lag when just trying to click around the text area for this comment on HN.

Edit: Some extra details for my setup, I have external monitors (4) and the Macbook Pro is closed in clamshell mode. Not sure why either of those things would matter but I figure both those cases are more common for people on HN (external monitors/closed laptop) than the general public so I wanted to mention it.

Edit2: And here is a video of me doing the same scrolling on the homepage just to show the difference: https://cs.joshstrange.com/GWLr0Qwl

M1 Pro here too, the page doesn't hang, but it's extremely slow to scroll on my end.

M1 Max MacBook Pro and no issues, fwiw. Just to help provide data.

M1 Mac mini here and instant loading in Brave.
