Tablets and smartphones have ruined many good websites.
Now, they are ‘mobile friendly’ and load like crap on a laptop or desktop browser.
The infinite scroll is abhorrent. About the time you arrow/scroll down, the website expands at the bottom and the location is moved. Then, one has to scroll back up to find where they were. They waste time when one has to relocate the cursor after every expansion.

That's also in part what I would call lazy programming. "Parallax scrolling" works for mobile devices, but that style should be conditional based on the device requesting the website. A good programmer would employ "responsive design" on their site whereby it determines the style based on the screen size of the device. Responsive design is what you see happen when you pull up a site on a tablet, then tilt the tablet and the site changes without reloading.
The code to do responsive design is amazingly simple (just a few lines in the CSS to determine the conditions), but it amazes me how few sites employ it well.
Seconded! I hate that infinite scroll feature they have been putting into websites.
