I can observe the same issue when opening the link to the first article on my E4.5 running the latest rc-proposed. I’m observing that each touch input triggers a myriad of load events (if I’m at the bottom of the page and I scroll up, I can see the progress bar flash rapidly to indicate the something is being loaded off the network). I’m guessing this is the reason for the slowness. It looks like bad website design, rather than the browser’s fault in this case. Do you have an android phone to compare how chrome on android behaves with this website? Maybe a user-agent override would "fix" the issue…

On some articles scrolling is almost impossible. Now this is not the first site I find difficult to scroll on with an Ubuntu's web browser unfortunately, though it is usually the case of some heavy javascript ballast on the site I am sure. The worst experience I am getting so far is on this article: http://www.ceskenoviny.cz/zpravy/francouzska-justice-obvinila-16letou- divku-z-planovani-teroru/1379685 where scrolling is very laggy and more or less only gets me either to the absolute top or the absolute bottom of the article, not anywhere in the middle. Slow scrolling won't help the issue. Other articles like this one http://www.ceskenoviny.cz/zpravy/ceske- drahy-dostaly-pokutu-150-000-kc-za-chybejici-ceniky/1380181 feels only very laggy but not that bad from my experience. I've been testing this on my Meizu MX4 with rc-proposed. Maybe this is only the device issue though I doubt it. Is there something you can do about it? Thank you very much.
