My wife's iPad Pro is running 18.4.1 and recently began having troubling opening links that work in Chrome. There's an obvious solution here--to just use Chrome--but she likes Safari and can't understand why these links worked days ago and do not now. Has anyone heard of such a problem before and is there a solution to it?

I presume "recently began having troubling opening links that work in Chrome" means they ONLY work in Chrome, not in Safari?

"trouble" in what sense? Where are the links - email, messages, web pages, stored locally?

Update to 18.5, see if that clears it up. If not provide more detail here.
