I want URLs of a page to stay the same no matter where I scroll, including on Discourse where stopping at a certain comment changes the url to that comment’s number. Scroll this page to see: https://meta.discourse.org/t/should-url-change-as-you-scroll/55302

Definitely not.

If I wasn’t on mobile, I would write up a more comprehensive fix. Probably something along the lines of:

Store the original functions.

Attach a scroll listener to window.

Stub the functions when the window is scrolled.

Set/reset a timeout for 100ms, and put them back after it fires.
