This site crashes my iOS 13 Safari browser. When I enter a URL and tap "Go," it says "please enter a URL" once or twice, and then, crashes.

I can't seem to replicate it on iOS 13 Safari, does it fully crash your browser or just the page stops working? Did you specify the protocol in the URL?

I currently use HTML5's URL input, one bit of feedback I get is that it shouldn't require protocol. I will look at changing it.

I didn't specify the protocol. It did fully crash the app.

I'll play with it a little more.

Oh it is something to do with the HTML5 History API, I will have a look into it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have a chance can you test again? Also do you have the exact version of iOS?

It's iOS 13.1.3 on an iPhone SE.

As of this posting, no longer crashing for me when I input the same domain and choose HTTPS.

Thanks!
