What happened?
The D&D Beyond website is a mess on my computer browser today. I assumed it was part of the Fastly outage which took down Twitch. But nobody else seems to be complaining, and it looks fine on mobile.
The formatting makes it close to unusable in my browser (Chrome for Mac)
Is anyone else experiencing this today?

Thanks for any news or leads!
It looks fine for me, and I'm also using Chrome for Mac. I have gotten what you are seeing occasionally, but not for a long time. Usually restarting Chrome fixes it for me. You might also try clearing Chrome's cache, but there are disadvantages to that.
Restarting Chrome - didn't help. Private Window - works! But a permanent solution? Safari - works! I may switch to Safari for D&DB if I have no other options. Clearing Chrome's cache - trying that now...
Had the same problem for a few hours,got it fixed up but I don't think were having the exact same problem.For me the forums were bugging out because I caused a server glitch by deleting a large amount of posts at the same time from multiple different threads.Which of course really confused the somewhat weak dnd beyond servers and crashed a couple of times.However,as stated this may be entirely another problem from yours.
Clearing Chrome's cache did the trick! I wonder what triggered that craziness?
Everything looks fine now. Thanks again!
If you load the site in an invalid/partial state due to the fastly outage, that state gets cached in your browser. When you later visit the site, your browser uses the cached version to speed up loading and minimise data. Clearing your cache prompts your browser to redownload everything fresh
I was forced to switch to Edge because too many things (not just on this site) weren't working correctly. On this site, Chrome stopped showing the little [x] after upvoting a post or reply in these forums. Chrome also stopped showing the custom portraits (and some standard portraits) even though Edge and the DDB app browser were both showing that the custom portraits were indeed uploaded.
(Looks annoyingly different in Edge but, at least, all the sites I need work fully. Edge switching 100% to Chromium is probably the only reason it works, now. It used to be awful for everything.)

ModeratorYup. Here is a checklist of items to try:
Clearing cache could potentially fix the issue. The other steps could help identify that the issue might be an extension or browser setting or VPN.

Has Chrome been updated, yet?
