Another site with an always-present header that completely fails keyboard paging. It is really frustrating how many pages break such a basic function. Forcing the user to manually adjust the positioning every time they page is a really great way to make them lose interest and go somewhere else.


You should switch to Firefox. With Firefox, we take those headers into account when keyboard paging and everything "just works."


And I appreciate it. But it would be nice to have some built-in way to nix them. Right now I'm browsing on a MacBook Air 11" which has just 768 pixels of height. Between the menu bar, firefox UI and fixed site header, I'm left with a claustrophobic slit to view the content in.

And then I love to browse many websites by zooming in and leaning back; but once you zoom in a few steps these headers magnify to the point of absurdity.


OT, but I use Firefox and have not found that to be universally the case. But on this website, it definitely does and I really appreciate it!


That's a good point. But besides my undying love for Chrome Dev Tools, I'm kinda bugged by the idea of hacking a permanent workaround into the browser to accommodate broken sites.
