Safari keeps redirecting due to java error

Safari keeps redirecting to random pages non-stop. I spotted that it is due the Java and once you turn it off from the Safari settings, the problem disappears but you cannot properly view webpages thanks to the not working Java in the background.

Once you turn Java back on various random pages start to load continuously and you end up with pages trying to download things on to the device.

Is anyone experiencing this redirecting problems? Help, please!

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.1

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for improvement. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

The problem occurs on my iOS devices. And, it has nothing to do with pop-up windows etc. as the issue is directly linked to the Java. Once you turn it off from Safari "Settings" the browser no longer directs to other websites, however, the webpages do not work well without Java so this is not a permanent fix.

Do you know anything about this specific Java issue on iOS devices.

Thanks

I'm sorry but I don't understand how this helps. You could just recommend something more specific as there is no other section related to Safari besides this one.
