hello, I am trying to figure out this issue. I never had it before. I have an iPhone 6s and I started using Safari because of the ad block. When I am opening a page, it will not fully load...sometimes it will not load at all and I will need fo reload or will load only parts of it. Never happened before. I was using 5s with Chrome and never ever experienced anything like that. Do you guys know what it is? Thank you.

Are you using an ad blocker? If so, have you tried disabling it and seeing how Safari works without it?

So the issue was indeed the ad blocker. I had Purify installed. Is there anything better that will not cause same issues?

Do you have Custom Fonts blocked in Purify? If so, that's what's causing the issue. I had the same problem until I turned off Custom Font blocking in Purify's settings.

Nope....I do not have it activated. Only ads and social buttons. Safari started working perfectly, but ads are killing the experience:(

I found Purify to break a lot of pages, as well as many embedded videos. I switched to Magic and everything is much better.

I moved to Refine, everything is working like a charm now!
