Web app state in Chromium on Android is stuck despite reloading the tab
18:03 15 Jun 2026

Chromium on Android acts weird with my HTML file. I repeatedly reload the tab, but:

  • Some checkboxes are stuck with values that contradict the values that the HTML and JS code gives them initially. If I change their values through remote debugging DevTools and reload the tab, they go back to their weird values.
  • All s,
  • Despite reloading the tab, CSS classes of elements remain as they were assigned due to some user actions, not as they should be after a fresh pageload.

Opening the page in another tab is fine initially, until the same problem appears there, too, somehow.

As far as I recall, this started happening before I used remote debugging.

Any thoughts on what I should inspect/try, or what the reasons might be?

(Firefox would keep values between page reloads unless autocomplete="off". But this isn't Firefox-based, and I do have

wrapped around all s, and that wouldn't explain the :disabled and the CSS classes.)
