That website is interesting. Maybe it's a Firefox bug, but when I load the page with NoScript on, the text is very weird, like this:

> TODay WE aRE aNNOUNCING tHe

It's actually much weirder than that, as some of the capitals in my quote are actually big lowercase letters, not capitals (i.e. the opposite of smallcaps).



That is an odd bug I have seen before with a browser (not sure when or when). It freaked me out back then though.

Open it in a private window and see if you can reproduce. By default, a private window uses no extensions though I prefer to have uBO enabled by default there, too.

Another peculiar detail I saw on landing page is screenshot of management interface. It must be old as it shows various VMs including FreeBSD 12.1 and Ubuntu 20.10. Ubuntu 20.10 is EOLed long ago and also wasn't a LTS release. Not something you wanted running in enterprise 3 years ago, nevermind recently.


I saw the same thing and wondered why nobody in the comments mentioned how painful this site was to read. Copy/paste the text and suddenly it's all back to normal. Saved the page to disk and loaded the local copy in the browser - also perfectly normal. Very strange. Maybe something to do with their CSS?


Can't repro in FF with JS off (not exactly NoScript). Could it be an extension doing something weird? Curious if you see normal text when you view source on the page.
