iPad2 users: is there any fix for the constant reloading of web pages? [View all]

I don't even bother to log into DU on my iPad anymore!

The admins added yet another line of those gawd-awful taboola ads (it is beginning to look like Times Square up in here), and I find myself clicking on them by accident, due to a little lag, while I am scrolling down. Then my iPad acts like it is traversing through a pond of molasses!

I wish I had never updated the OS.

Roger that, thought that might be so. According to Apple care this is the fix. mahina Aug 2016 #14

But you still have to log in every time you come to the page, or apparently, give up "no not track" mahina Aug 2016 #15
