One used to be able to save a homepage as a pdf file on the ipad to dropbox, that included a link til the homepage, but with the new os 18.4.1 that does not work. Now you save a linkfile. filename.url

"des.genealogy.net-2639449.url"

You can open the homepage with this link on ipad and intel macs, but not M3 MacBook.

You can save a pdf, but it does not contain a link to homepage, and does not look like af pdf.
