Not often you encounter a site that makes scrolling choppy.

I'm pretty sure that's because the entire <main> of the site has an 8px Gaussian blur on it:

  .site-main[data-astro-cid-bpoqdqeq] { 
    backdrop-filter:blur(8px); 
  }
Why, exactly? The page looks visually identical when I disable that rule, but the performance skyrockets. I realize that it's probably vibecoded, but come on.

Works great in my browser that hasn't been updated - except by me, mainly to keep it running - in about 10 years.

Firefox by any chance?

Ran recently into another site on here that scrolled fine on anything except Firefox. And this one seems to be fine on safari.
