Hey @christinalin thanks for sharing this.
I think the root cause of the issue is that we make defund12.org/nyc
automatically redirect to a mailto:
link, so that people can just share that URL and it's a zero click way to have an email ready to go.
So when you reopen Chrome (and also when you delete the browsing history) it looks like it reloads the most recent page (which then redirects to the mailto:)? I'm curious, is it possible for you to select cancel
when the Create mail
tab slides up?
Ye know, I just tried going to defund12.org/nyc
on Chrome on Android, and it doesn't redirect to mailto at all, I'd guess because chrome wants a user action to be required to trigger the mailto (Chrome on iOS is really safari under the hood, so that may be why it's different).
The redirect does happen for me on OSX Chrome, but there it doesn't feel as spammy because it doesn't happen every time I switch apps...
I don't have an iOS device so I can't test better :( It would be great if you wanted to take a look into it.
@NickCrews i took a stab at "fixing" this in this pr #1542 but really just proposed a new feature 😂 hope that's ok
Bug report
Hi! Found your site through a shared post on instagram, it's awesome...but I was experiencing this very spammy feeling bug which is that every time I opened my mobile Chrome browser, there was a prompt to open the mobile email client. See here for a visual of what's happening. I had to uninstall/reinstall Chrome to fix it.
Having trouble reproducing it after reinstalling, but I believe it was caused by the following.
Browser/mail client/OS (if relevant) Chrome 83.0.4103.88 / Gmail 6.0.200519 / iOS 13.4.1
[Optiona] Proposed solution/idea Wanted to report this in case others have time to fix it today, otherwise I can try to look into it this weekend. At first glance it seems related to automatically hiding the tab when opening the browser but not sure. Again I'm having trouble reproducing but it's worth evaluating how to get into this state so others aren't forced to reinstall chrome
