It also breaks "back" IIRC. They expect you to use the "x" on the page to navigate back, not.. you know, the back button built into the browser. That and the scrolling are what got me to switch my iphone to DDG.
Not breaking the back button should be #1 on every webpages priority list. If you break my back button I can almost guarantee I will stop using your site because in my mind the only sites that do that are spam/scams.
This is a general Google trend it seems. Google Images does it too: if you scroll left after viewing an image, you get the previous result instead of the page you were on. Really frustrating.
Ah, yes, that is incredibly annoying behaviour. I was getting annoyed at this just yesterday! That would be fine on iOS if it only happened when you flicked the image, but scrolling from the side edges of the screen in Safari should always navigate forward and back.
They must have actually had to do work to override the expected behaviour and break the user experience, which I just don't get.
Don't even get me started about this Blogger thing. The triggers are so sensitive that half the time I switch articles when I'm just trying to scroll down.
