@stubbornella You have to admit though, this scrolling is buttery-smooth: http://melanie-f.com/  Not possible with regular ol’ scrolling.

@peterhry it is, and it's very pretty, but it doesn't work the way my thumb (on mobile) thinks scroll should work. So, cognitive dissonance.

@stubbornella @peterhry Same problem on desktop too. WAY slower than I expect scrolling to be. Not a fun experience.

@jlbruno @peterhry Even if it perfectly matched *my* experience, it wouldn't match the experience of anyone on different devices/browsers.

@stubbornella was very common in early iOS due to broken position fixed. It's the worst practice. AMP is currently considering it for iOS.

@stubbornella (because position fixed still is very broken in iOS with nested scrollers)

@cramforce nested scrolled seems so weird on a tiny phone screen, no?

@stubbornella bad because: - doesn't work over iframes - cant scroll away URL - bezier curve for momentum isn't public - blocks on UI thread

@stubbornella Is it possible to programmatically block that? If so, do you know any Chrome extensions that do?

@stubbornella 2 hard and fast rules: 1) we can’t fix and don’t build workarounds for browser bugs. 2) we don’t rebuild browser behaviors.

@stubbornella But, like, what if we did and we got fancy scroll bars.
