What you are describing matches nothing I've ever heard of on any browser or platform. This indeed was an html page that redirected to a pdf after clicking a link. Nothing about this should trip up any modern (or ancient) web browser. Absolute basic functionality. Why would I be lying about this? You tell me why you keep insisting a normal web page is like greek to your phone. Or why you were required to login to google services -- something neither the webpage does, nor any OS-oriented handling of any actually-unknown file type I have ever seen on android (ps HTML is not a bizarre unknown content type). What you described (in two distinctly different and random ways) sure isn't anything I'd ever be able to explain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (2 children) I finally figured it out, it's apparently a bug in the Jerboa for Lemmy app when I try tapping the link posted in Jerboa. Jerboa sees PDF, Jerboa blindly tries to open it as PDF. When I copy the link and paste it into Fennec directly, the link and age verification script works as expected. So the only thing I was doing 'wrong' was by tapping the link in Jerboa, like why would I expect the simple act of tapping a link is somehow messed up in Jerboa..? Anyways, thanks for all the 'help', accusing me of being a liar and all. I sure hope you and others accusing me of lying never get into tech support, nothing will ever get fixed or solved that way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) Yeah, I would never in a million years have guessed that and I could never be in customer service.

You tell me why you keep insisting a normal web page is like greek to your phone. Or why you were required to login to google services -- something neither the webpage does, nor any OS-oriented handling of any actually-unknown file type I have ever seen on android (ps HTML is not a bizarre unknown content type). What you described (in two distinctly different and random ways) sure isn't anything I'd ever be able to explain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (2 children) I finally figured it out, it's apparently a bug in the Jerboa for Lemmy app when I try tapping the link posted in Jerboa. Jerboa sees PDF, Jerboa blindly tries to open it as PDF. When I copy the link and paste it into Fennec directly, the link and age verification script works as expected. So the only thing I was doing 'wrong' was by tapping the link in Jerboa, like why would I expect the simple act of tapping a link is somehow messed up in Jerboa..? Anyways, thanks for all the 'help', accusing me of being a liar and all. I sure hope you and others accusing me of lying never get into tech support, nothing will ever get fixed or solved that way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) Yeah, I would never in a million years have guessed that and I could never be in customer service.
