Safari on Macbook Has Become Unusable

Safari works fine for me. I'm using it now. I suspect the problem is not something widespread or due to a fault in Safari. It's more likely that there is something in your particular setup that is causing a problem.

The first thing to do is make sure your system software is up to date.

Thanks, yes everything is up to date and I've cleared everything and rebooted too. Over in the Safari category here there are many with similar frustrations. This issue only occured after I installed the most recent update a couple weeks ago. Maybe it will be magically fixed with the next update.......

With millions of people using Safari, at any given time there will be people who have problems. And, sometimes those problems will occur around the time of an update. Most of the time, it's pure coincidence.

But if you're not interested in troubleshooting Safari, I'd recommend either Brave or Firefox. They will expose less of your personal information and they won't hog resources. Avoid Chrome.

Same here!! I have PhD deadline and have lost so much time this week with it constantly waiting and not letting me close it minimise. Very unresponsive. First thought it was broadband but wasn’t. Chrome seems fine but safari isnt. Can this please be sorted!
