I'm running into a problem that's actually a "feature" on Chrome. As most of you might know, Chrome remembers a scroll position that it returns to, whenever you come back to a page. And I kind of have a problem with that.

Is there any way to override this without the user noticing?

In Chrome 46+, the auto scroll behavior can be turned off using history.scrollRestoration:

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