Why doesn't poal go back to the place I left off to read an article? Why do I have to always go back to the beginning and scroll back to where I was? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting? Frustrating as hell on my phone.

This happens to me all the time too. When I hit back from a link I clicked on, I find myself scrolling through tons of posts I already scrolled down from before following the link. I try to make sure to open in a new tab because of that, but I keep slipping when I'm not at poal for a minute and regular internet muscle memory takes back over. I doubt it's related but I tend to browse all/new so that's where it keeps happening for me.

Btw this is off topic but have you had a chance to look at the bug mentioned ? It seems to be the case that the period character in blocked domains is getting interpreted as a regular expression single character wildcard match, which in turn leads to it matching on false positives. So for example with the domain bit dot do which seems to be blocked you can do bit space do or bit f do or any other single character and it sees it as that domain. Sorry if it was inappropriate to mention that here.

Disable infinite scroll

Can you give an example?

Are you browsing in incognito/private mode?

Tried it signed in and lurking. Once I click on a post then try to go back it never takes me back to where I was, have to scroll down to find it.

I'm not, but I am using Brave mobile browser with cross site trackers and https on but it says it is not blocking anything.

I seem to get redirected to somewhere between where I was and the top of the page.

Do you have experimental features enabled in your account preferences?

No. The only ticked box is disable snow because it's supposed to be fucking summer.
