Redirect-happy URLs render app unusable on tablet

Open ConstantineXVI opened this issue 12 years ago • 2 comments

With the tablet view, clicking a bookmark that immediately triggers a redirect on load (ex: mobile version) bounces to the browser; then clicking back reloads the redirecting URL, bouncing to browser again.

Have a fix in progress, but it's kind of hackish (involves a fair amount of overriding in WebView). Can make a PR if that's acceptable.

Do you have some example urls so I can reproduce?

The Alantic seems to do this reliably, as does NYT:
