Random question, but does anyone get that bug in Safari on Mac where when navigating the YouTube website, sometimes you'll navigate back a page and the page won't actually change at all despite the URL updating?
Okay that wasn't too bad, wrote a little thing into Juno's new back button functionality that checks if the resulting page's HTML is different than what would be expected for the URL, and if so manually refreshes for you. I want this on desktop 😛
@christianselig Does it also check if the videos mismatch? Watch video 1, go to video 2, go back, it still shows video 2. It had that happen numerous times.
@christianselig Safari on Mac, very often. Gets quite annoying.
Another one of those "did you really need to mess with JavaScript? it would've worked just fine without it, you know" :/ So many modern websites ruined
@christianselig I think maybe? But frequently once in a YouTube page, I am moving forward to more YouTube vids within that page or opening the YouTube app.
There are numerous ways web pages can prevent navigating back a page, or to a previous app, by accident or design. If they hang or trap me, I close them, they are gone.
@christianselig ironically, I get this in Reddit a lot in Safari. I'll go to a post to read comments and when I swipe back, it looks like it goes back to the main page but it stays on the page for the post / comments. And like you're describing, the URL changes.
Seeing it in Juno a bit (testing back button) and wondering if I can auto refresh or something to fix it if detected. The issue is the URL (and window.location) both update properly so you’d almost have to inspect the HTML itself, hmm
@christianselig I’ve seen this kind of bug off and on throughout Safari across all the platforms over the past few years. Almost feels like it’s relying too much on a cache that gets corrupted, but then can’t move beyond it? Not sure.
