Ok I found a solution but its still buggy. If i go into the webaddress and hit enter it loads the side working but using the bookmark brings me back to the broken site

Ok found the solution. After checking the bookmark, i realised it said “https://[email protected]”, removing the newtab part fixed it.
That’s on me, tho I had an extension that made bookmarks always open in new tabs (would be a nice optional feature to have by default), and I guess it modified the link and didn’t reset it after I removed the extension
