Highlights in iOS | iPadOS creates duplicate bookmarks

Love the highlights feature, especially how it allows me to highlight directly in the browser and shows me my highlights if I revisit the same page later.

Ignore hash propeties when testing URLs for equality (Symptom: Raindrop created multiple duplicates while I added highlights to a page)

I was reading through a page and adding one or two dozen of highlights. When I switched to the Raindrop app, I found the highlights scattered across multiple duplicates of the page.
This happened with three particular pages so far. I discovered that this happened because I followed in-page links.
Example:
Original:
Duplicate:
Raindrop should consider links with hash properties (a.k.a fragment identifiers) identical to links without those or with different hash properties.
Edited to add:
Unfortunately, I cannot delete the duplicate because it contains different highlights than the original. I have not found a way to merge duplicates either, so right now I am left with re-creating all highlights in the original or keeping the duplicates.
In the case described at the beginning of this bug report, this bug created nine duplicates with 31 highlights in total that I would have to re-create in the original document. This example is behind a login, unfortunately, so I cannot share it here.

I signed up to Raindrop yesterday. Using the ‘Add to unsorted’ option on iPhone, iPad, running iOS 17.3.1, bookmarks are added twice.

Highlighting text in a web view, creates an additional bookmark. Each additional highlight creates an additional bookmark. This looks like a regression from bugs reported last year.
On MacOS. Still works as expected on iOS
