Issue with the mobile display

I'm having some display issues with the manga title dropdown menu on mobile. Normally, after the description of the manga, there's a dropdown menu to view extra info, like the links to view the author/artist pages. However, many of the titles I'm viewing are missing this info and are instead displaying only the description.

I did find that the display is fixed on a few titles from the "Recently Added" section, but not all of them, which is the main reason I'm making this post. I have no idea why it's fine on a few titles but not on the majority of them. The display issue started a few days ago, but only today did I find out a few titles were fine. Not really sure if it helps, but I'm running iOS 16.5.1 Safari on iPhone 13 and the display issue still persist in incognito. Also, the issue seems isolated to my phone, since on my PC the info is all there.

Here's some screenshots. Both are from recently added titles.

Here's what the page should normally look like.

Here's what I'm seeing for many of the titles.

The second image doesn't have the author/artist links and other stuff, but the info is visible on desktop. (Btw the first title is from here and the second is from here.) I did check from the most 9 recently added titles,(going from "Nihongo Kentei Shiken" to "Isekai Harry Potter"), and only 5 of them had the correct display, and I haven't found the correct display on like any other title.
Here's a few more incorrect displays from not recent titles.

In summary, mobile display seems broken except for a few recently added titles. No clue why, and it's weird, so I am asking for assistance or if anyone else is having this problem.

Seems to be related to something that got reported a couple of days ago over on Discord, due to the URL.canParse() method not being available on Safari for older devices (got introduced on Safari 17.0).
It's an unintended issue due to us re-upgrading a previously downgraded package, so we'll fix it soon(ish)

In the meantime, I'm afraid you'll need to use a different device to see that information, since on iOS every browser is just Safari with a bucket of paint due to Apple's stupidity, and it's not like you can update the browser either since it's tied to OS version

This was happening on the old comp I'm stuck with as well, figured it was due to the out of date browser so didn't bother reporting it. Wierd that it's not consistent between pages though.

I'm not in the Discord, so I didn't see the report there. Glad to see it wasn't a unique issue to me and that it'll be fixed eventually. Thanks!

Yeah, initially I was also not gonna report it, especially after I tried looking around on the mdex forums first to see if the problem was mentioned anywhere(and couldn't find anything). Funnily enough, I decided to hit the random title option a few times just to experiment, and I actually found some old titles that were fine. (Still, most were not though.)
