We have implemented a content blocker using the Safari Web Extension, which can be toggled on or off as needed. However, we've noticed that changes in the Safari browser take effect only after the page is reloaded again. This behaviour has been observed across all simulators as well as on iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 16.7.8.

Is this due to a delay in the JS file rules updation on simulator and lower devices?

Our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as resolution may involve changes to Apple's software. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could open a bug report, include sysdiagnose, and post the FB number here once you do. Bug Reporting: How and Why? has tips on creating your bug report.
