The story “snap back” feature of Medium for MacOS makes it incredibly tricky to navigate

I am not an Android, Samsung, or PC person. I was forced to use non-Apple computers and Microsoft operating systems when I worked in healthcare. But at home, and since retiring, I have been a dedicated Apple person. My Medium writing is done on a new Mac Book Pro laptop with the latest Monterey operating system.
