Opening LockDown Browser OEM I need help opening my LockDown Browser OEM for my Pearson book. I can open the regular LockDown Browser, but not this one that opens directly from Pearson. I have tried to uninstall and install it, and nothing. It looks like it will open, but then it doesn't. Then it opens this message that a report has been sent to Apple since it's not working.

Problems with Private Relay and Safari I'm using a 2021 MBP 16" running Monterey 12.4 and Safari 15.5. Has anybody else found issues with very slow, or non access to certain web pages with PR turned on that can be sorted out temporarily by restarting Safari. These issues return quite soon, but can be eliminated by turning off PR. I notice this particularly with eBay, but Safari is noticeably snappier with PR off.

I do not understand the reference, but to change Safari's Search Engine read Choose a search engine for Safari on Mac - Apple Support.
