Safari Lagging Severely – Forced to Manually Delete Cache Regularly (M1 Max)

Hi team,

I’m using a fully specced MacBook Pro M1 Max for high-intensity work. Safari, unfortunately, has become a major bottleneck in my workflow over the past 6 months.

The browser regularly slows down to the point of unusability unless I manually delete the cache folders – even the built-in cache-clearing feature doesn’t work reliably. This is a serious UX flaw, especially considering Safari is supposed to be the system-optimized choice.

Yes, I push it hard:

– dozens of tabs

– AI tools

– analytics dashboards

But also yes – I have plenty of memory and headroom. The hardware isn’t the issue. Chrome handles this exact same workload without breaking a sweat.

At this point, I’m reluctantly switching to Chrome just to keep my work running smoothly. It’s genuinely frustrating – and honestly embarrassing – that Safari can’t handle this, especially on Apple’s top-tier hardware. Starting to feel like I’m using Internet Explorer on Windows again 😅

Please fix this via update. I don’t want to abandon Safari, but right now I’m left with no real choice.

Thanks.
