A few of you may have noticed the new internet archive site at archive.org.
Yet another site that has succumb to the disaster of modern web design.
Minimalist yet somehow heavily bloated user interface and worse yet: bloody awful infinite scroll.
Honestly, who ever thought infinite scroll is a good idea must be brain dead. I hate it with passion.
For one thing, it's easy to get lost in the page. You scroll down and the scroll bar gets bigger. Great.
Good luck finding anything in the page as it is constantly changing. Not to mention unlike pages,
you can't directly link to a certain "page" with infinite scroll. And it borks the back button too.
Not to mention requiring JS and a modern browser.
I don't believe for a second that infinite scroll is a good idea even for mobile devices. Give me a big next and prev button to tap any day.
What an abomination modern sites are. I would expect better from the archive though.
