Edit Nevermind it’s just me. Should have checked my extensions first.

FYI to the author, there’s a curious bug with using the back button on iPhone/safari.

If from this thread I click the link to go to your page, and before doing anything hit the “back” button, this works fine.

If I go to your page, and then scroll to the bottom, and then hit back (like I did after reading the article), safari seems unable to do so, staying on the page and appearing to get caught in a loop with a growing list of history links to the same page. I think something about the jump links is confusing safari. I do have various extensions installed in safari, so if no one else has this issue it may just be me.

This does not happen in the iPhone/orion browser, which function fine.

Thank you very much for the note. I use hugo to render the site and don't have any specific setting for back button behavior. I'll check it out.
Shoot, looks like just a me problem after disabling some extensions. Currently narrowing down which one is misbehaving. Sorry for the false alarm, should have tried this first.

Edit looks like an issue with “Hush Nag Blocker” (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hush-nag-blocker/id1544743900) which was originally installed to deal with the cookie nag spam epidemic. I’ll have to look into alternatives.

You just saved me 1-2 hours trying to replicate the problem tonight. You earned an internet cookie Thank you for being a good internet citizen.
