EDIT: Coincidentally, I turned off prevent cross-site tracking, because I got sick of raindrop.io signing me out constantly. However, that seemed, I think, to have solved this issue. The only other thing I changed was to turn on the compact tabs view, but I don’t see how that possibly could have had any effect on this whatsoever. So I think maybe the cross-site tracking prevention thing is broken, or something along those lines
Safari on iPadOS latest has been just fine! No change since upgrading from iPadOS 17.
Try turning on Prevent Cross-Site Tracking, and let me know if anything changes.
Always have that going!
Oh I always use private browsing by the way, nearly exclusively… Would losing out on history and cookies be just way too annoying? Maybe tolerable for 24 hours? Would be so curious if you reported back that for some reason private browsing wasn’t susceptible to the bugs you’re experiencing.
Edit: nvm, forgot about your edit
