STR:

1) Open news.ycombinator.com
2) Open an article
3) Readerize the article
4) Hit back
5) Long press on forward
6) Select the article

Expected:

Not sure. But someting shoud render. Either the readerized version or the original version.

Actual:

Blank page.



The problem is that the hsitory stack contains an about:reader?url=... style URL and we do not actually know what to do with that.

I can see a couple of solutions but those depend on what we want to display when you go back/forward in the history stack to previously readerized pages.

I have to see how this works out with the built-in history facilities and see if we can hook into it well enough to disable the current behaviour where we DO go back to the about:reader?url=.. page.
