OCaml webpages are abnormal

The ocaml org websites are not very mobile friendly. They’re readable, but they don’t seem to come up in a browser. So no url bar, and it’s hard to share a link from them.

Specifically I’m on android and the ocaml webpages do not act like other webpages. I instead must save the Google search page and click through to get back to ocaml discuss, for example. Highly annoying.

I do not see this kind of behavior on Firefox from iOS. So perhaps platform specific? It would probably be helpful to file an issue on https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml.org/issues that includes the browser you are using and how you are navigating to ocaml.org before hitting these problems.

Hmm. Just tested it here from a boring Android 13 with chrome and it seems OK. Clicked through from Google to the home page and then into “A Tour” and the standard library. Hamburger menu top-right and a tree button and arrow bottom right. URL bar at the top as normal.

I didn’t encounter any problems with the OCaml website on Firefox/Linux yet…

And if you have any extension enabled… More than once I have banged my head on the table on a problem that was due to a user using a weird browser extension.

Always first try in private mode with all extensions disabled to see if the problem persists.

Can you post any screenshots that show the problems you are describing?

Sorry folks, I think this is user error. I noticed an ocaml icon on the phone’s app page. I guess I must have somehow installed it as a web app? I’m guessing that might explain why it loads (its a webpage) but doesn’t look like a webpage in a browser (i.e. with url bar at the top).

Thanks for the suggestions.
