How would websites look like if they had motion blur on scroll

    Github source link - https://github.com/pie6k/motionblur

    My conclusion - it might look sweet, but usability is poor (especially when scanning looking for something)

    Makes me ill but I was very interested in seeing what it looked like.

    I also get VR sickness is some VR games so I'm sure its for the same reason, if I scroll down a lot my brain says I should be falling. No issues without the blur.

    Scrolling by dragging the bar seems to apply the max amount of blur even if you only move it by a pixel, but other than that I could see myself using it as a browser extension. This was a pleasant scrolling experience
