The site seems deliberately designed to break safari when using a built in iOS content blockers. It’s like it reloads itself until the ads have loaded, making it impossible to scroll. Does anyone else see this? Is this a thing now?

Seemingly. It doesn't hurt their SEO (like ajaxing in the content would) and "forces" people to turn off blockers. Or clear out.

This sort of dickery just means we'll see a rise in NoScript users, or that functionality becoming baked in.

Way too many advertising strategies are dangerously short sighted. That‘s what led to the proliferation of ad blockers in the first place.

Brave on Android had the same issue - toggling scripts to off via the brave icon made the site work perfectly.

You can tap the share button and then Create PDF. Or, hold down the reader mode.

Same problem with Brave on Android (Galaxy Tab E).

When you see that it tries to reload, all you have to do is hit the stop button in the url to prevent it from reloading.

Looks like a problem with iOS content blocker, not the site, since I block ads aggressively and have no issue in Firefox on Android.
