After iOS 17 update, Safari Is Slow

After updating to iOS 17.1 and then 17.2, Safari takes a long time to respond when I click a link after a search or from within another page. I cleared the history but that did not help. Any suggestions?

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Solution: Safari very slow to open page via hyperlink iPhone 16 Pro. Since new, and across all iOS 18 updates Safari has been painfully slow, 15-20 seconds, opening a web page via a hyperlink. Changing the default browser to DuckDuckGo, Opera or chrome eliminated this issue so I knew it was a Safari issue. I finally found the Safari setting that is causing the issue. Under the Advanced settings, Privacy, turning off the Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection eliminated the concern. But what does this setting do? See attached screenshots. I hope that by disabling this feature I am not opening myself to site tracking. Any feedback would be appreciated. I hope this helps others.

iOS 17 and Safari, Safari url/search bar stops working Using Safari on iOS has become increasingly frustrating lately. Sometimes when using Safari on iOS, the search bar at the bottom stops working, I can type a search or a URL but when I hit enter, nothing happens. I can choose bookmarks, or previous sites or recommended sites from the new tab window and nothing will happen, the previous page loaded remains where it is. I have to either force close safari or restart the device to get things working. Am I the only person this is happening to? Is there an explanation for this that I am missing? Im running 17.0.2 on a 14 Pro 128GB

We recently did updates 17, 17.1, 17.2 and recently 17.3. My iPhone 15 and my wife's 13 are taking forever to open app's, Safari searches, etc. We have tried restarting our phones, making sure all App's are updated. We have dome everything. Sounds like everuyone that did the updates has experienced exact same problem. Come on Apple....what are doing?????
