Manga display glitchy under Safari on iPadOS
-
For the past few weeks, reading manga parts (but not LN) has been glitchy on my iPad in Safari. I think this started after the system update to iPadOS 26. By ‘glitchy’ I mean the part opens in the browser, but after a page or two (reading two pages at once, landscape mode), the view refreshes with an error and no image. Generally, reloading the page leaves me at the spot I left off, and I can read the next few pages. This works, but is not a pleasant experience. It’s happened for all the manga I’ve tried so far, a specific example is today’s “Fired? But I Maintain All The Software!” Let me know if I can provide more info, thanks!

I loaded the same chapter on my 2018 iPad Pro running Pad OS 26.2.1 and I could not replicate the issue.
When in landscape mode, I was able to read through the whole manga chapter without it reloading once.
I then experimented with 2 other chapters, and I changed up my page turn between tapping next page, to swiping to next page, and still found no issues.
Could it be a device specific issue, maybe running on an older iPad, perhaps?

@Rahul-Balaggan Weird. Thanks for checking; I’ll have to try some things. It’s actually a newer iPad (2024), and fairly generic with only a couple apps, so I wouldn’t expect it to be device-specific, yet here we are…

Only other info I have right now is that the tab title changes to “Webpage Crashed”, and the text “A problem repeatedly occurred on…” followed by the URL for the part appears in place of the manga page. Unfortunately, it looks like you need a connected Mac to view the web console. I did confirm the problem also happens for me in portrait (single page) mode, so not specific to the 2 page spread. I plan to try another browser…

@Rahul-Balaggan I just tried reading the latest two Fired?! chapters on my current-gen iPad Pro (smaller size, with 26.2.1) with Safari and encountered at least a couple of instances of the same glitches (page would reload, but not show anything, or would reload and continue from where I had read to). I was reading in two-page mode, but I’m not sure if I could give you any more details about the experience.
