Sorry about that! Thanks for letting me know. I'll run some tests when I'm near a iOS. Do you have any more information?

It consistently crashes my browser on any url. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enter “example.com” 2. Press isolate (nothing happens, and a pop up with Enter Url appears) 3. Try to hide keyboard by pressing Done at the top right of the keyboard 4. Press isolate again

Thanks I'll work on it

Thanks. I better check on what's happening

edit: all fixed now, correct certs are back. I had switched branches and the changes came into effect when server restarted, including different certs.

So I got this spam link via SMS. And I did something like this. I was all like "Haha! I will outsmart these mutton-brains with my `curl` on EC2!" Instead, what happened is that the URL was unique and it validated my phone number. Now I constantly get that variety of spam. NUuuuuuuuuu

Seeing that most of the URL's have unique strings in them that could be expected right? ;)

Worse: some SMS apps will automatically try to fetch thumbnails...

Hey finger, I tested on iPhone 8 on 13.5.1 and did not see this issue. Were you using an iPad? Any more info?

Sorry about this!
