This bug is about adding mobile web to the home screen on iOS. When you open it from home screen it opens without any browser UI. Also, clicking on any of the links opens a separate Safari tab which is confusing (browser back on that page is inactive since the main page "stays" in the previous tab).

We should investigate if iOS allows us to treat something added to home screen as a normal website, not a single-page web app.

IIRC if we simply *don't* enable the special Apple "web app" mode, a homescreen bookmark will get created in a mode that gets launched in Safari with all the regular controls.

Actions then:
Seems like we just need to remove
