Don't see my issue in the comments, hopefully this isn't a duplicate. I'm on iOS, 18.3, this problem has been ongoing for a while tho. When I open a linked page, it opens correctly but then after a short time, perhaps a second or two, the in-app browser locks up. I can open in safari and that works fine.

Aside from that, Apollo refugee here. 👋
- That's really weird. Do you have Testflight? If so could you check when it started happening?
  
  Does it reproduce consistently or just certain links?
  
  I am not on the TestFlight version. I deleted the app and reinstalled it, it seems to be fixed, so chalk it up to a bit of weirdness. It was fairly consistent, could also have been iOS as I am on the public beta branch there and with the 18.3 release I'm not on beta at the moment since there isn't one.
  
  Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!
  
  Just had it happen on this post. If I open it in safari, it works correctly, but in the voyager browser ( which I assume is also safari?) it works when it opens, then does not accept any more input - If I give it a really quick scroll when I open it, it will continue scrolling until it stops, but my taps are no longer registering.

  Edit - switching to reader mode works normally, switching back it's still frozen. I restarted voyager, no change.
  
  What happens if you turn off content blockers?
  
  Definitely related. When it's frozen, unblock, it works, completely slathered with enshitt, of course. But interestingly, if I then reblock, the ads are gone but the scrolling still works.
  
  Ah. That sounds like perhaps it is a problem with the content blocker. Voyager calls a standard iOS API for the in app browser and doesn’t do anything bespoke 🤔
  
  Yeah, figured. No worries :)
