    All Devices Stop iOS apps from launching Safari

    Is there really no way in iOS 13 to stop applications from launching Safari? I've noticed lately one of the new tactics with in-app ads is to make the close button so small or unresponsive that you accidentally tap the wrong place and open the ad. That launches Safari which in turn sends you...

    iPhone Why does clearing safari browser data not wipe history?

    If I clear data and search for cookies or history, I get nothing. Yet under storage, it says 123kb for history. This value hasn't changed in years when all other data is cleared. Any ideas what it is? I have no bookmarks or autocomplete settings.

    Safari on Big Sur won't load local files

    When I attempt to open a .html file from my hard drive in Safari, it fails with this error: The operation couldn't be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 1.) (kCFErrordomainCFNetwork:1) Anyone have an idea of why? It didn't happen until I upgraded to Big Sur. Catalina worked just fine.
