It might also be worth having those links opening in new tabs as an option. Right now, at least on iOS, following a link and then going back leaves you at the top of the original page again, not where you were up to before you clicked the link.
- extra88 5y agoIn general, it's better for sites to not take away from the user the choice of opening a link in a new tab or not. When I follow a link on my iPhone, when I use the Back button, the page is still scrolled to where it was before, which is my typical experience in mobile Safari.
- Silhouette 5y agoIn general, I agree. But if the link is a surprise because the styling isn't obvious and it might easily be tapped while trying to scroll content on a small touchscreen and it breaks normal back button behaviour, I disagree in this specific instance. All of those things were true in iOS Safari on my iPhone at the time I wrote that comment.
