Severe Voiceover bug when navigating HTML content

Hello!

I must say that I have already found a quite enervating bug in iOS 14. It is a quite severe focussing problem in HTML views. Navigating web sites can't be done reliably any more, in many situations the cursor seems to stick on specific elements - maybe because they are highlighted or have some other animation on them, I don't know. Each time I swipe to the right to leave those elements, the focus is emidiately dragged back to them. The only way to go somewhere else is to tap a different element on the screen by hand.
Another situation where I see problems is when I am searching something on Google using Safari. I use the rotor to jump from heading to heading, to say from search result to search result, but the VO focus doesn't land on the headings as it should do, but on links which are placed above the actual search result.

I hope that Apple will fix this quite soon, I am already considering to go back to iOS 13 for now.

that must be what is happening when I go to settings, apple id, media and purchases.

Once you log in and try to flick around, it jumps or gets stuck and gets dragged back to the previous item.
