When I posted this, I did not expect all these replies reporting similar issues. The number of people saying they occasionally/often have to restart Safari to make it work properly is flabbergasting to me. I probably restart Safari at least once a day, and that’s mildly frustrating. https://mastodon.social/@simonbs/112274840951637693
@simonbs That and many variants happen to me daily. It's usually triggered by stuff like hitting the back button, typing the return key on a URL field or closing a tab when the timing is just right.
Symptoms include nothing loading, messed up back/fwd stack, audio of videos on closed tabs still playing in the background, and on the iPad sometimes even the URL field disappears from the toolbar.
Video thing is scary since it means a web view may remain alive doing things without any visible UI.
