The endless spinner is reproducing for me regardless of ETP mode. It's also happening on Chrome.

Maybe we need a fresh link?

But I'm seeing console errors in Chrome which imply that there are probably coding errors on the site:

Tom I can reproduce the issue only with ETP - Strict. Make sure the page is refreshed after switching to ETP - Standard.

Ok, I was able to get to the point where I saw the redeclaration of const tAndt error message in the responsive design mode.

Unfortunately that's not the problem, because even I disable tracking protection on the page, I still only ever see a loading spinner (whether I allow the page to access my device's location or not).

So I think something else is broken on the page, or more likely this specific link is just dead (since I also see an endless spinner in Chrome).

Did we perhaps have another link which still works, except when Strict mode is on?

This is strange, I can reproduce the issue with the link: https://www.homedepot.com/c/pu?s=1013 every time with ETP - Strict.

I've tried with other links also and I get the same behavior.

I'm getting the same results on all the links above in Firefox and Chrome, regardless of ETP: just an endless spinner on all of them. So assuming the links above are all just dead now, I wonder if the original issue is iOS-specific.
