trafficshield.xyz keeps popping up a web page in Safari at random Seems to be happening when I'm running the Fun Difference game on my 9th generation iPad, OS is almost up to date (18.3, latest update to be installed tonight). I've looked around at the Safari settings, there doesn't seem to be a setting that addresses this.

does safari automatically redirect content into a private tab? Does safari automatically redirect content into a private mode? for example if i am using an unsafe website to watch a football match and i am getting redirected to third party websites, does safari open those malicious third party websites automatically into private mode? Or do they open in new tab of the actual browser I was watching the match?

Can't clear Safari block for too many redirects on iPhone Safari App The instructions given to disable the feature of blocking indirects do not apply for an iPhone 13. What are the correct steps for the Safari App? I'm so frustrated because I need to access a website and can't. I'm having trouble with a subscription and everything is going to time out because of this block. Thank you for a reply that is reflective of the actual steps available on the current Safari app. 17.6.1 iOS
