For real. It wastes too much space with useless info (% in universe, physical state) and buries or sometimes straight doesn't even include basic chemistry-related information like nuclei radius and electronic configuration.

Periodic tables were literally designed to be as straightforward as possible and this site decided to follow through the opposite.

I suppose it's only famous because it's easy as shit to type and hit enter (ptable)

It’s a shame what happened to it
