I thought I had seen a mention of a fix on the ileakage website and then it dissapeared. I almost thought I imagined the whole thing, but actually they have been making changes to the website only in the past hour.

> "To mitigate our work, Apple has just released iOS 17.1, iPadOS 17.1, and macOS Sonoma 14.1. Update your devices now!"

Which they have now reverted.

I think one of the authors of the paper are reading this thread because when I pointed out that there was no timeline on the site, they added a brief section to the FAQ. There is also some confusion here about whether a fix has been rolled out so I think they've also become confused.

Strange. I’ve updated to iOS 17.1 and under Settings -> Safari -> Advanced -> Feature Flags, the `Swap Processes on Cross-Site Navigation` is there and is enabled by default. I wonder if it’s different from `Swap Processes on Cross-Site Window Open` on macOS.

also on by default on 17.0.3. i definitely did not change this.

It is different. The cross-site navigation flag is a couple of years old. It was enabled by default for iOS in November 2018 for example https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/e191fc8c412850cb9fd0...
