Cannot get past the blinking eye for some reason. I use Firefox


If they can't be bothered to check on Firefox I won't waste my time reading their material.


Seems it is case of yet another page that relies on (google) analytics to work properly: it works with Enhanced Tracking Protection turned off. (Shield at the start of URL bar.)

So it is basically "you have to let us track you to read our content". /Bold move, let's see if it pays off…/

EDIT: NM, seems it is unrelated to tracking after all; just some spaghetti code that (presumably) attaches load event handler too late.


Can't say if it would have been a waste of time but otherwise I agree: there's enough other stuff to read on the internet.

Goodbye.


Same. Workarounds don't appear to be available on mobile. On one hand, it's hilariously meta; on the other hand, I can't even go into the arguably minimalist reader mode

edit: well, outline.com gets at the prose, anyway https://outline.com/DRXrCu


Me too. For a moment there, I even thought it was a joke on minimalism.

Run this in the console:

  document.body.classList.remove('preload');


Thanks. Sucks that they couldn't be bothered to test it on Firefox.


Another Firefox user chiming in. I had the blinking eye at first, but refreshed the page and it appeared immediately.

This anti-pattern of loading your actual page content asynchronously needs to go away.


same... and i don't care anymore. sloppy programming.


Workaround:

View -> Page Style -> No Style
