Disable brower's auto scroll after a page refresh?

Question

Is there a way to disable the behavior where some modern browsers (Chrome and Safari) remember your scroll position on a page refresh?

Answer 1

For browsers that support history.scrollRestoration, the auto scroll behavior can be turned off:

if ('scrollRestoration' in history) {
  history.scrollRestoration = 'manual';
}
