Sleepy mentioned this was probably a gag, and I was kinda thinking that but I'm also dumb so who fucking knows lol.

Edit: Confirmed to be a real bug by star

Unable to re-create w/ DDG browser v5.229.0 OR vanadium 9.53.0 from Android/Graphene OS 15 (Build 2025050300).

Multiple sources online report strange issues with reverse input on older versions of chromium based browsers (pre-2025). Furthermore, DDG browser is based on the browser engine provided by the OS's WebView, meaning it's stuck on whatever version of chromium was being pushed with Android 10.

Something to keep in mind about all of this is that Android 10 lost support in February of 2023, meaning Android 10's last WebView update would've included the bug.

Considering all this, I'll keep the bug alive but on the backburner. The only place we've seen it is on an older/unsupported version of android, and it can't be re-created in newer versions w/ the same browser.
