JavaScript popup takeovers.

[u/Familiar_Marzipan_46]

So since ios27 I’m seeing more of this. The 2 that come to mind right away is yahoo finance and unilad. Both of them have a continuous loop of popup dialogs. Yahoo says it’s having an error to cancel or ok. If you ok it tried to forward you to a website that both Verizon and att have blocked due to being malicious. If you click cancel the page reloads. I’ve found these types of dialog popups in the past if you hit reader mode it prevents them from running but since ios27 it seems they still run and they boot you out of reader mode.

Did a bunch of searching around and even tried installing an ad blocker extension but it didn’t help any. Exactly the same issues. Can’t exactly disable JavaScript anymore since even a google search requires it. And I also tried the WebKit option to not allow webpage changes if I don’t physically click on the new link but apparently a reloading loop is allowed with that.

Any suggestions would be great.
