    I have no option like that. All I have is a Block Cookies tab, no option to turn on for frequently visited. It’s causing hell with my web use. I’m running iOS 12.2; what can I do?

    Safari settings were changed since iOS 12; this article is historical. At the moment, you can block all or none.
