After the latest update (15.3), Safari has trouble accessing some sites, either it hangs or it's very slow.
I've trashed the Preferences, and cleared cookies and caches, but the problem remains.
My other browsers work fine. The only thing I can think of is that the update introduced a bug.

I think I found the solution. I deleted the entire Safari folder from my user library. So far so good.
Thanks.

I deleted everything but I had a copy of the bookmarks file which I put back when Safari launched again. So, no, I didn't start completely from scratch.
