Describe the bug When trying to access a website using Interstellar, the top bar appears without any URL and shows a blank page.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use an Apple mobile device running iOS or iPadOS;
2. Access Interstellar using Safari and click on any App (example: YouTube);
3. Notice that the top bar is empty (no URL) and the page stays blank.

Expected behavior Be able to access websites through Interstellar’s proxy on an Apple mobile device (iOS or iPadOS).

Device Information (please complete the following information):

• Device: iPad
• OS: iPadOS 17.4
• Browser: Safari (version coming with iPadOS 17.4)

Additional context The issue started appearing when xbubbo added ads to Interstellar. Also, I use Cloudflare DNS.

Apple devices do this sometimes... I don't know exactly how to fix it but I know there is a fix.

I may also add that I use Private Browsing so my system administrator doesn’t see the websites so he doesn’t ban them through the school’s network.

After some testing, I discovered that on my computer on Google Chrome, it does work. However, I also tried Interstellar on Safari using regular browsing mode (non-Private) and it still does not work. If anyone has a fix, it would be highly appreciated to share it here.

Go to settings and change your proxy to Dynamic (Update your version of Interstellar if you can't find that option)

Does it work for you ? Because for me it doesn’t… It worked perfectly three weeks ago and now it doesn’t work on Safari and on Firefox (non-Private). Please check the commits to see if you’ve made an incompatibility since the “Added Ads (Test)” commit. Thanks for helping me anyways…

I will look into this.

Just tested a month old commit (https://github.com/InterstellarNetwork/Interstellar/commit/0d4326b1591d6bef751822a25c50f3ccba35ba6c) and it did not work for ios, is there a specific commit that works that you know of?

[xbubbo]

I found a commit that is working, I am looking into it again.

Same issue with me shar the commit please

[bl4ckun1x-team]

Thanks a lot, I didn’t have a lot of time to look for a possible cause this week but I found an old link that works on iOS/iPadOS

[bl4ckun1x-team]

Any news ? Still not fixed.

try opening in the proxy link in a new tab

[bl4ckun1x-team]

Nope, doesn’t do anything… I think this is issue is caused by the new tabs layout (the top bar).

[MadjikDotPng]

I don't think so?

[whoopdoge]

Having the same issue. Thanks for looking into it

Bug has been fixed, at least for me. The 'Fixed for Firefox' commit fixed it for Safari too. Thank you so much.
