Multiple bugs on some browsers on mobile

I tried to use my phone to get started on a project while I was away from my laptop. I typically use Opera GX for everything, so I started working on Opera GX and it was working fine for the most part until I tried to upload an image from my phone. Upon selecting an image, Scratch just acted like I didn't even do anything, it didn't show the “Uploading” popup like usual, just nothing. It's just like Scratch didn't want to.

Next, I tried to create a broadcast. For some reason, trying to type immediately closes the keyboard. I couldn't create broadcasts! I ultimately plugged in a mouse to my phone to see if it was a touchscreen issue or something. Nope, there were no differences. Also, for some reason, I lost the ability to type. I tried to input a value into a variable block and it wouldn't pull up my keyboard at all. It wasn't even doing what it did before, it just wouldn't show a cursor. It just felt like Scratch was breaking down like an old car or something.

I eventually gave up out of frustration and figured it was a bug with Opera, so I opened my project on Chrome. Needless to say, I encountered the same exact issues. At that point, I was super fed up, so I just downloaded the project to my phone and continued to work on it on my laptop when I got back to it. My project was finished using my laptop with zero of the issues encountered on my phone.

To make sure I've made everything clear, my phone runs Android 12, I use the latest version of Chrome and Opera GX. I assume the issue is with Chromium and/or some version of Android. Since I see Scratch being used on iPads on Safari, which is not Chromium-based, and on iPads everything seemingly works just fine, so I assume either Android is the problem, or some Chromium-based browsers are the problem.
