-1. This is not a redesign, it's their Chrome app.

Somewhat amusingly it crashes the Chrome browser on my G2.

FWIW, your G2 is not running the Chrome browser. There is almost no relation between Chrome browser and the Android browser, save WebKit. This is puzzling, but true. And unfortunately, the Android browser just isn't up to snuff yet.

Well, shit.

At least that explains assorted dopey behavior.

This is the first page I have seen that crashes chrome on Android. I am using Android 2.3.4.

That's because it's not a mobile app but a Chrome browser app.

Funny reason to crash a browser. Firefox handles it OK.

Still, it isn't the first time I had a problem with the Google Chrome browser on my Google phone viewing something either made by, or made for, Googley things.

I didn't mean that's the reason it crashes on Google Chrome for Android (which I don't know how stable it is in the firts place) but I guess they didn't optimized it for mobile because it's out of its purpose since it's primary a Google Chrome webapp. NYT has a decent mobile version an it also has Android and iOS native apps.
