When did “responsive“ web design become synonymous with “huge f*cking images, big ass captions and needing to scroll vertically forever“?!

Although sites like that may look good on tiny mobile screens, on desktop screens they are just freaking me out. I am not blind, nor am I too stupid a visitor to handle denser paragraphs of text in a more sophisticated kind of layout! Geez...

    Welcome to devRant! I totally agree with you. Living that now with a vendor. The desktop UX of their enterprise solution looks like 1995 so it will render on a mobile device.
    I am pushing them to fix it - and they will!

    I enjoy the ones that use horizontal scrolling, and it takes 15 seconds to realize why you can't scroll down.

    @Wallpaper Argh I hate them with passion. Looks great the first time round but every other visit it's a bore.

    And when they call it "bootstrap" design! I'll make you a bootstrap! With a shovel to your face! I loved the old Firefox, but since they went with this stupid stream and even GitHub displays by default as a page for mentally ill people, it makes me sad.

    I have the damn fullHD resolution, I want things displayed SMALL, not trice as big!
