In the last few days, Safari suddenly started crashing on WSJ.com. Particularly when opening articles with lots of ads, the page reloads several times then crashes saying “a problem repeatedly occurred”.
On the Mac, it says that it is using a significant amount of memory, on the iPad it just says website crashed.
I can load the articles when I disable JavaScript in Settings, but that is not an ideal solution.
Website works fine on Chrome and Firefox on the Mac, but does not work on Safari on Mac, or on iPad or iPhone.
I already tried:
clearing cache, history, cookies
deleting website data
force restarting
incognito mode
both WiFi and cellular data
deleting all content and settings in the iPad, and setting up as new device (!)
family member’s iPad - same issue
Any tips? WSJ customer support thinks it’s a problem with my devices.
This started shortly after last iOS update.
OS versions:
