Scrolling issue on mobile highlighting using via with Chrome and Brave browsers

Filed an Issue The Hypothesis web-based annotation client (GitHub)
The Hypothesis client is a browser-based tool for making annotations on web pages. It’s a client for the Hypothesis web annotation service. It’s used by the Hypothesis browser extension, and can also be embedded directly into web pages.

Steps to reproduce

  1. On mobile version of Chrome using the via.hypothes.is prefix to activate Hypothesis on any website.
  2. I try to highlight a specific piece of text beyond a single word.

### Expected behaviour
I would expect to be able to slowly and accurately highlight a specific piece of text.

### Actual behaviour
Once I’ve got a small piece of text highlighted and try to expand it with the “handlebars” to go either up or down the page, generally beyond text on the same line, the cursor jumps immediately down to the very bottom of the page and it becomes essentially possible to select a particular block of text.

### Browser/system information
Chrome browser v 86.0.4240.75 on Android 9

### Additional details
I’ve experienced this before on earlier versions of Chrome/Android. I’m not aware of it having ever worked properly before. I don’t experience the same issue on the mobile version of Firefox on the same phone.

@williamgunn has reported a similar bug when using the Brave browser as well at:

Watched "Good Eats: The Return" The House That Dripped Chocolate from Food Network | SlingTV

A cook (Alton Brown) buys an old candy cookbook only to discover that it's cursed. Every time he makes a treat, the tricks get weirder ... not to mention more painful.

Recipes on the episode include:
* Pistachio "Butterfingers" 
* Peppermint patties

The method for making Butterfinger-like candy was pretty cool, though it appears to be a lot of work.
Read - Want to Read: The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World by Wade Davis (House of Anansi Press)
Every culture is a unique answer to a fundamental question: What does it mean to be human and alive? Anthropologist and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Wade Davis leads us on a thrilling journey to celebrate the wisdom of the world's indigenous cultures.
In Polynesia we set sail with navigators whose ancestors settled the Pacific ten centuries before Christ. In the Amazon we meet the descendants of a true Lost Civilization, the people of the Anaconda. In the Andes we discover that the Earth really is alive, while in the far reaches of Australia we experience Dreamtime, the all-embracing philosophy of the first humans to walk out of Africa. We then travel to Nepal, where we encounter a wisdom hero, a Bodhisattva, who emerges from forty-five years of Buddhist retreat and solitude. And finally we settle in Borneo, where the last rainforest nomads struggle to survive.
Understanding the lessons of this journey will be our mission for the next century. For at risk is the human legacy -- a vast archive of knowledge and expertise, a catalogue of the imagination. Rediscovering a new appreciation for the diversity of the human spirit, as expressed by culture, is among the central challenges of our time.
