How to update the browser settings on my iPad?

Safari is an integral element of iOS/iPadOS - and cannot be updated independently of the OS.

If your iPad has been updated to the most recent version supported by your iPad (the model and installed version of iOS have not been declared), then Safari is as up-to-date as is possible.

However, some websites incorrectly identify your iOS/iPadOS Safari User Agent when used in one or other of its browsing modes - of which their are two - these being Desktop and Mobile. It’s easy to switch between modes if a website isn’t functioning correctly. From the desired web-page, touch the aA icon at the left of the Address Bar; this will reveal a menu. From the menu select Website Settings, then select (or deselect) Request Desktop Website, then tap Done. Now refresh the webpage.

The chosen setting will be saved for the selected website - and can be simply reversed if needed.

Otherwise, as already suggested by Patricia666, you can configure Safari in iPad settings:

You can also clear your Safari cache of saved website data and cookie from iPad settings:

• Settings > Safari > Clear History & Website Data
• Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data - here you can selectively remove an individual website, or all website data
