is there an explanation for this? Is rendering broken and then fixed by hitting the reload button?
Sorta, generally it's because the page is waiting for some element to load before it renders, and htting the refresh button interrupts that waiting, so the elements that have loaded all render while the refresh request is being sent.
So hitting the ‘stop’ button should give you a partial page, right? Good to know!
It sometimes will, yep! I'm obviously oversimplifying, it depends on the implementation of the "stop" button and the specific elements that are failing, but a surprisingly large percentage of the time It'll work. It will also work to avoid some paywalls if you stop the page before they load in.
Pretty sure what happened in the comic is that the page finally loaded right as he clicked reload, and then the last panel is his soul leaving his body at the sight of the blank, not-yet-at-all-loaded page.
