The way the stock android browser handles bookmarked URLs, it never includes a / at the end of a URL, even if you manually add one. The next time you visit that bookmark , it will strip out that last / . This doesn't matter for most sites, but for my wov recent thread bookmark...
https://wizardofvegas.com/recent
Returns a 404
I have to manually add a / every time after the 404 loads to get to
https://wizardofvegas.com/recent/
Most sites do this URL redirect automatically. Can this be fixed?

That's an unfortunate bug in the Android browser. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
The URL without the trailing slash now redirects to the one with the trailing slash.

Thanks for adding the redirect.
I was investigating this further and it seems the trailing slash is only removed when accessing the saved bookmark via the search bar. (By text matching) The trailing slash is preserved when accessing a saved bookmark from the bookmarks menu. But the bookmarks menu takes a lot more time to use.
