If y'all are a webdev who think that intercepting scroll events and then reconstructing them from scratch within Javascript is a good idea, cut that shit out.
It's awful. It's bad UI. You cannot make it good UI. Just stop. Delete that shit. Please. I'm begging you.
@ardgedee what's the most egregarious example you can think of?
@a_breakin_glass To be honest, I haven't considered tracking that, I've only allowed myself to be annoyed by scroll event intercepts as I find them.
It's a good question, though, and maybe I'll start logging sites I find that do it.
Broadly speaking, any site that captures right-scroll and left-scroll without bubbling it to the browser ranks higher on the shitlist because they also tend to interfere with right-swipe and left-swipe navigation events in MacOS and tablets.
