Goes without saying, the consistent Medium experience is a good reason why we keep using it. Self made blogs like this that do annoying things that take away from content are foot guns.

  The OP's blog still does less annoying stuff than medium does

    On iOS I find the lack of inertial scrolling on this site an order of magnitude more annoying than anything Medium currently does by far. To the point where I closed the article after I first tried to scroll.

  The majority of non-Medium blogs are using Wordpress/Squarespsace themes of some kind and those usually are of the "responsive boilerplate" style that wouldn't have basic CSS issues like the site above.

That feature has serious bugs on iOS, and that's probably why it's not the default as Apple can't get it to be stable. Don't ask him to add it, ask Apple, it's their fault. It's not a production feature. And since it's Apple, you can't just use another browser as it's all the same crap on iOS. You're stuck with something worse than the 2019 equivalent of IE6. iOS is a joke when it comes to web browsing.

  Mind posting a source on the serious bugs? A Google search didn’t bring up any major issue for me.

  Same flag is required for Chrome.

    No, it's not, it's the default in Chrome.

  It's probably not the the default because it disables the scrolling behavior used everywhere else on iOS. The "Safari is IE6" meme was briefly valid a couple years ago, but they've done a much better job more recently. (Check out the release notes for the technical previews.)

    The default isn't touch(which is momentum scrolling), so it's by default NOT like it's most places in iOS. Technical previews is for Safari on Mac OS, and that browser works quite well. It's safari on iOS that is a huge shitshow. Its more unstable than ever before and far behind everyone else on features, and it's freakishly unconsistent. Heck, Apple can't make up their mind if they are having a click delay or not, so now they have it only for standalone.

Mobile Safari is the new IE6. Hopefully that class-action against Apple for the app store monopoly bears fruit (pun fully intended) so some alternative browsers can be installed on iOS (via Amazon app store or something similar to f-droid). Note for those new to the party "Chrome" and "Firefox" on iOS are just skins on top of Safari, iOS rules require you to just use Safari if your app browses web.

  I use Chrome on iOS because I find Mobile Safari’s UI to be total poop. There was some funky scrolling on this article I noticed on my phone which is not present on most websites/websites viewed through Safari backed mobile browsers.

Did the author change the site? You're not the only person in the comments complaining, so I presume y'all aren't making this up, but the website doesn't appear to mess with that style. (Chrome doesn't report it on either <html> or <body>.) (and it seems normal to me in iOS, but I'm normally an Android user.)
