On Sunday we rolled out new HTML for 4chan's imageboards. The new code validates HTML5/CSS3, the design should appear exactly the same, pages should load slightly faster (especially long threads), and extension/user script/archive developers should have a much easier job parsing our pages. This is the first time in approximately ten years that it has been updated.

If you are using an extension or app that has not been updated for the changes, some features may not work—you will need to wait for the developer to update their extension/app to be compatible with the new HTML. If you haven't downloaded it already, try the Official 4chan Chrome Extension.

The most significant changes with the new HTML are a new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features. Check them out by clicking [Settings] in the upper-right (make sure you don't select features that conflict with those from an extension though), or visit 4chan from your phone!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

Why are grief seeds called "グリーフシード" ("gurīfu shīdo") instead of using the native Japanese words?

It doesn't work period. It just makes you sound 12. We get away with it in English because German just sounds cool and angry all at the same time so noone dares tell us that we should probably come up with a native word.

Because Japanese is a language that has never had a problem with borrowing words from other languages. In comparison to other languages such as French or Icelandic, there's no real movement to replace foreign words with "native" Japanese words for instance.

That's more of a post-war thing. They used to invent new kanji compounds for foreign words. London used to be called 英京, for example, whereas now they just transliterate it.

It runs the other way, too. Chinese words like 革命 (revolution)，法国 (France)，科学 (science)，电脑 (computer)，社会 (society)，and 火车 (train) originated in Japan.

Yeah, but nowhere near the same scale as Japan (and other nations like Korea and Vietnam. It's estimated that around 60% of Japanese vocabulary originated from China. Basically, it's similar to how French influenced English vocabulary (which is why English has also never had a large movement to remove foreign words).
