Safari Sonoma big issue

Since I switched to Sonoma, Safari has big problems, every day.

Navigating, after some time, Safari can no longer open the pages, the black page exits with "it is not possible to reach the site etc etc.."

The only solution is to close Safari and reopen it, even without clearing caches and histories, and from that moment on it starts working again,

until after 30, 40 minutes the same problem reappears

It's absolutely not a connection problem, and it all started with the switch to Sonoma.

Also on my Mac M1 if I'm not mistaken it's not even possible to restore SMC, PRAM and NVRAM

I'm desperate, because every 30-40 minutes I have to close everything and go open the pages and operations in progress

I'm thinking of going back to OS Ventura, or change browsers and switch to Chrome or Firefox, but I have everything on Safari.

I would hope for some help or update from Apple

I was wrong, I spoke too early.

The problem persists,

and the only solution i see make Safari working again does not need to clear the browser cache or history.

Simply close Safari and reopen it and it starts working again.

(connection is ok, on the other browser navigation is ok)

I think it's a big problem for me that will push me to use other solutions, other browsers (see Chrome) on a daily basis

I have seen some similar issues on my machine. but when I see issues, rather than shut safari down and reopen it, I just refresh the page using the refresh button on safari's address bar.

if you really want to change browsers, you could try that. and, if needed, you could easily export your safari bookmarks and import them into Firefox. I would never use chrome, so I cannot offer suggest options on moving safari bookmarks into chrome

you can send feedback to apple to let them know of these issues. Feedback - Safari - Apple

refreshing the page doesn't resolve, i really have to close Safari without even having to clear the cache or history and reopening it all works for 20-25 minutes on navigation..

anyway, i'll send a feedback to Apple,, thanks

I deleted the cache dns with Terminal, and so, after days it seems that the problem is no longer created,

As long as in the meantime some automatic update has not arrived that has fixed things, oh well, for now it goes

Even if in fact Safari i don't see it as fast as it used to be,

on sites rich in scripts and the like, every now and then the spinning wheel of the loading starts

and it packs everything,

like on Aliexpress,

but maybe it would also do it with other browsers (?)
