This magazine shows a pop that makes Safari ignore the gesture to go back, can't scroll up to go back to the address bar. For people using Safari on iPhone, is there any secret gesture to kill a tab like this?

Put it into reader mode as soon as the page loads, before the pop-up spawns.

Switch to the "Tabs" tab and kill it?

It also crashes my Chrome tab on Android.

Rotate the phone to landscape mode, and then into portrait. The address and tab bars should be displayed on the change to portrait.

That's a very good idea! Thanks! I will use this approach next time I encounter something like this!

is this the first documented time "you are holding it wrong" is literally and technically true?
