Description

This isn't the first time. I am not sure why if I am using Google Chrome and google for react suspense or some keyword, go there and use CTRL-F to look for suspense, and it says "lazy" and "suspense" and then I click on those links and it is not reacting....

Copying the link to Safari and then it seems to work... and sometimes copying it to another Chrome window works... it just sometimes work and sometimes not.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the intermittent link behavior on the React documentation website in Google Chrome, using Google results and in-page search for “suspense” or “lazy” as described. Compare the affected links with Safari and another Chrome window, and consider the issue done when the relevant links consistently respond to clicks in Chrome.
