Safari 15 full of bugs, almost unusable!!

I'm experiencing what B3yondL mentioned. My full list of bugs, which seem to all crop up at the same time - sometimes after 5 mins of use, sometimes longer, are:

1. tab icons and names disappearing (same as B3yondL)
2. cmd-F / find works but the dialogue box is invisible
3. autocomplete stops working
4. other weird bugs start to happen, like only able to close safari with a force quit, or webpages simply no longer loading, or form elements on webpages not responding.

It's like Safari works fine and then poof, a gear breaks and it's unusable until I force quit all Safari processes and restart. Then it works for a little longer.

I am having to switch to Firefox, which isn't terrible, but I wish I could keep using Safari!

Those things are bugs that everybody is facing. And it has already been almost one month that Apple launched it and didn't fix them yet. But at least the bug that happens when you try to reorganize your tabs, if you have two or more tabs opened (not pinned), you can reorganize your pinned tabs. I just figured that out now. I was trying to find a solution for that, and suddenly it worked like a charm. I closed the browser, and I tried that again, and it didn't work. Then I opened two tabs, and it worked. I made some other tests, and (at least for me) it works when you have two or more opened tabs. So I hope it will work for you too.

There have recently been many reports of a broad range of new problems on this support site about the latest release of Safari v15. It is included in the downloads for Big Sur and Catalina. Since you are experiencing these problems, I suggest that you use another browser such as Firefox or Chrome and they will work for you until a fixed version of Safari is released.

The odd thing is that not all Macs seem to be affected. My two iMacs are just fine. Go figure.

At least from me, the update to 15.1 has fixed all the major bugs that I had before. I strongly recommend you guys update it. Also, If I'm not wrong, if you update to Monterey, Safari will be updated to version 15.1 as well.

We are not Apple here. We are Apple users, like you are, who help each other. I suggest that you post your thoughts with Apple on the following link.

just want to chime in and vent my frustrations too. safari 15, and 15.1 still, is an absolute dumpster fire. Notice the url bar and the blank tabs.

Even this forum doesn't render correctly in v15, what a mess!

I have the same problem. We’re you able to fix it. It’s driving me crazy!
