Chrome repeatedly reloads webpages, even after restarting iPad and uninstall/re-install Chrome

ipad on ios 17.xx problem using Chrome browser. Pages refresh constantly while trying to read the pages. I used to think it was a wepage coding issue , and it still might be . But no matter the reason, it needs to be stopped, or I can not continue using Chrome. The same web pages do not do this when on my Windows PC in Chrome, just my ipad.

Just for good measure I will include the SOP that the AI responder will tell us all to do .

I already did these things:

  1. always keep ios up to date
  2. Restarted ipad.
  3. uninstall Chrome and reinstall Chrome.


I am somewhat thinking it is a setting, but every internet search that comes up with suggested Chrome Settings changing has not worked mostly because the settings described are not there to change.

As if the internet post was for some other version of Chrome.

I am getting desperate, hate to give up my ipad. Tried getting used to Edge and Safari but prefer to stay on Chrome.

All advice appreciated, links to long rabbit-holes not appreciated.

Everybody be safe and thanks.

I have the same problem on my 12 mini. I don’t remember when it started being a problem because at first I thought it was just certain crummy websites. Now it seems to be every website I’m trying to read a news article on. I’ll be half through and Chrome refreshes the page and takes me back to the top of the article. Sometimes it does it again while I’m scrolling to get back to where I was. It’s obnoxious. I may try Safari to see if it’s any different, but I like reviewing suggested news articles that come up in a new tab and opening articles in new tabs to read through. I can’t do that in the Google News app. Idk if Safari has something similar as I’ve never used it regularly. Never been a fan.
