iOS safari redirects

iPhone X - Safari

I am getting redirects to d1394tbk6l6xlj.cloudfront.net.

I have cleared my browsing history several times, which did not fix the problem. They seem to only happen from the mobile.reuters page.....definitely not pop-ups, these are redirects...I can usually hit the back page button about 4-5 times rapidly and get back to the main reuters page. This happens on wiFi and over LTE.

Anyone know how I can fix this issue?

iPhone X, iOS 11.3.1

Hey Tony DeFo,

It looks like you're having some trouble with these redirections occurring in Safari. I'll be happy to help out.

You mentioned clearing the browsing history, but have you also closed out of Safari? If not, do that now: How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

With Safari closed out, then reset the website history again: Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Before opening Safari again, also block pop-ups by going to Settings > Safari and turn on Block Pop-ups and Fraudulent Website Warning. More information here: How to block pop-ups in Safari

With these steps completed, see if you still get those redirects. Cheers!

I have not tried deleting cookies/history in that order (with Safari "forced quit"), and will do so now.

As far as the Pop-ups, I do have the "blocker" turn on.

Thanks for the response, I will reply back as to weather this works or not.
