Google links don't work after iOS 9.3

After update to iOS 9.3 on my iPhone 6 Plus I can no longer click on search links from Google anymore. Tried both in Safari and Chrome. Works well with Bing.com.


If I hold down on the link and choose to open in new tab it works.


restarted apps -> same result

Rebooted iPhone twice -> same result.


suggestions?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3

Other threads have suggested turning off JavaScript fixes this. To do this, go to Settings > Safari > scroll down to Advanced > turn off JavaScript.

Just saying we're "working on it" means nothing, as it was made clear from your post as Apple did tell sites that reported on the links issue that it was being fixed.


EIther way, this fix had an extremely quick turnaround. It was fixed on Thursday after Apple had been made aware of the definitive, 100% reproducible cause (Booking.com's association file update) on Saturday/Sunday.

I traced the problem to when I had to install the Google Security Certificate for my company email account that is hosted by Google Apps for Work. After the CalDAV Policy profiles were installed (to allow me to get email, access contacts, drive, etc) that is whey all native apps (Mail/Safari) basically stopped working.


On my iphone 6s, I can still do the 3d Touch to open up a weblink in the native email app but when you choose to open in safari, that is when it crashes and/or hangs up.


Everything worked at 9.1. After the 9.2 and now the most recent 9.3.2, it is still broken!


Not impressed.

I have the same problem. I use Safari on the Iphone 5c, when i search google videos, the links do not work. When i open it in a new tab, it just opens a second tab with the google search results rather than opening the link. Even if i copy the link and paste it in the URL, it takes me back to the google search results page. Not sure if its a problem with IIphone, Google, or Safari.
