iOS 7 had a major problem with the Safari browser, so that certain advertisements displayed on certain websites, or Cydia, automatically redirected users to App Store applications at the very moment of accessing that web page. In the iOS 8 the Apple company solved this problem and prevented advertisers from using certain codes to automatically redirect users to App Store applications without their consent when displaying an ad.
Unfortunately, what Apple did turns out to be in vain, because some advertising companies have discovered methods to circumvent the changes made by Apple, so that accessing some websites from Safari for iPhone or iPad will direct users automatically in the App Store. Websites such as Reuters, FastCompany, Reddit and others as big are affected by this problem accessing them automatically opening the App Store with a certain application that no one asked to see at any time.
Basically, we are talking about forcing users to view App Store applications that they would never have looked for to install, most of them being full of in-app purchases and made specifically to trick users. In the iOS beta 8.3 3 the problem was not solved and unfortunately in some cases the loading of the website is stopped from the very beginning, the App Store application being automatically opened for the user, he being taken out of Safari to see something he did not need.
The Apple company has never publicly commented on this problem, but it affects a multitude of websites and in most cases those who own them have no idea what kind of codes the ads they display contain because they cannot control them. The only way to avoid redirecting to the App Store while accessing the affected websites is to disable JavaScript in Settings>Safari, Configurations>Safari, but considering that many websites need it active to work, the idea is not really so great.
