Scrolling up and down with a touchpad is 10x choppier on FF than Chrome on my MBP. The choppiness seems to come from techcrunch lazily loading the Like/Share/+1/Tweet buttons when the mouse moves over an article. With Chrome, scrolling with the touch pad doesn't seem to deliver mouse move events (the buttons don't load until I actually move the mouse w/o scrolling) and there is no choppiness. In FF, if I move my mouse so that it's not over the content (and the buttons don't load) and scroll, our scrolling is smooth like Chrome. Perhaps this is just a decision we've made that's Right For The Web but it's bad for snappiness so maybe we can find a compromise?

That sounds like exactly what I was hoping for.
