Widgets: Widgets screen not working in Android browsers

[KokkieH]

Description

The new widgets screen at `/wp-admin/widgets.php isn't working in any browser on Android.

I can replicate the issue across various browsers on Android, but it works fine in the same browsers on iOS.

The screen loads normally if the Classic Widgets plugin is installed.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Using a browser on an Android device, go to WP-Admin ->Appearance ->Widgets

The WordPress admin bar at the top of the screen loads correctly, but otherwise the screen is completely blank with no way to view or edit existing block widgets, or add new ones.
