It makes it so that if you visit another instance using their URL, it will redirect you to your home version’s federated link.
E.g. if your home server is Lemmy.world, let’s say you find a link to Lemmy on another website but it’s a link to Lemmy.ml. If you click the link, you won’t be signed in.
No website should ever crash a browser. It could be some weird things happening on sopuli.xyz but I would take this up with the browser developer, it looks more like a fault of the browser than the website, especially as everything works in other browsers.
It seems logical, but I tried it on few browsers (some isolated on my work account so cookies make no difference), all ff based though. All crashed only with sopuli, which I find really weird, because sopuli should be using the same software as anyone else. Maybe it's the webview itself? (Using Mulch wv, although I'm not sure if mull using it) that'll explain why it happens on both fennec and Mull, but not why only sopuli lol.
If we already talking, do you mind checking (on whatever browser you're using) if it crashes for you too?
