FACT: wasteof’s scrolling limits can be bypassed on iOS Safari.

Normally, if you try to scroll past the upper page limit, the page will reload. However, if you connect a Bluetooth keyboard and hold the up arrow key or shift-space, the page will bypass the reloading mechanism’s barrier and scroll into a normally inaccessible area.

Strangely enough, keyboard controls can also be used to scroll past the lower page barrier, despite it not having any added functionality. When in these out-of-bounds areas, scrolling using the space bar slows down to the speed of scrolling with the arrow keys. Pressing command-up or command-down will cause the page to quickly scroll into the infinite, unfilled voids beyond where the scrolling barriers would normally be.

there´s an upper page limit???

I meant the top of the webpage, not a post limit.

yeah, but i thought the browsers just… don´t scroll past the top?

That’s what the issue is about. This issue causes it to break that rule.
