Pages and Passwords
January 23, 2019 7:47 PM Subscribe
On my iPad, using Safari, reading Metafilter and AskMeFi presents me with two problems: when I choose a link to read comments or answers, it almost always (at least 90% of the time) returns me to the top of the current page, instead of to the question or FPP I clicked from. And, if I choose to open the link in a new tab, the new tab never remembers that I'm logged in at the original tab (this also happens with many pages that open a fresh tab when I click on a link). This drives me slightly crazy.
I also browse using Safari on my iPhone, but this misbehavior is absent. Both Safaris' configurations match as closely as possible. Both devices are on iOS 12.1.2. I use Purify as the content blocker on both devices. I also use LastPass to save passwords on both devices, but on the iPad I have Autofill Passwords set to both iCloud Keychain and Lastpass, while on the phone I have it set to only use LastPass (this may be part of the problem, but it seems it would actually cause the problem on the phone and prevent it on the tablet). I don't block cookies.
Except for the discrepancy in autofill passwords options, I can't see a difference. To my memory, the login retention problem has only started since I upgraded to iOS 12; the inability to return to the previous position on a page has always been there.
Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone found a solution?

This post was deleted for the following reason: Heya, as a MeFi debugging issue this is a better fit for MetaTalk, not Ask; go ahead and repost over there. You might also check to see if you have private browsing enabled on your iPad; that might be the cause of some of the issues. -- cortex
