Not sure how useful, but I confirmed this bug was present since 1.29.79+
It impacts IPFS Companion – our extension is unable to get content path for specific subpage, we are stuck at the root URI as well:

However, if you hover on the link, you see the full path in the bottom left corner:

Looks like something is not wired up for ipns://docs.ipfs.io/ (ipfs://bafybeied2n6vi4nmp5ynmv2hob4426l5q2pfcet3ilsvmxqhml34fgu4b4 works fine)

So should add a regression test for this, since it used to work.

Yep I also noticed that hover links work fine, so looks like only the address bar code path (so far).

I published a small demo under bafybeid2sz6646igfsciecr2cwcb7e2hxl6xewigxy3rjwgk6cbfmiiium to help with narrowing this down.

Clicking on cat names update the address bar via history.pushState. Tested in Brave 1.31.91 with different addresses:

• 🍏 ipfs://bafybeid2sz6646igfsciecr2cwcb7e2hxl6xewigxy3rjwgk6cbfmiiium/demos/history/ – works as expected
• 🍏 ipns://k51qzi5uqu5dgutdk6i1ynyzgkqngpha5xpgia3a5qqp4jsh0u4csozksxel2r/demos/history/ – works as expected
• 💢 ipns://kittens-history-push-demo.aergia.eu/demos/history/ – broken (address in address bar does not get updated when clicking on links)
