My copy of safari seems to be infected with something that causes it to repeatedly open pages with a sapino.net URL. How do I get rid of this?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6
Sounds like you installed some type of adware. Check to see if it is a Safari Extension and remove it.
Otherwise, EtreCheck can help you find and remove it.
Please read full message, before doing anything, thanks.
Close Safari, hold the SHIFT key/button on keyboard, start Safari with double-clicking on its icon.
In this way, Safari starts in SAFE-MODE,
in safe-mode, all earlier tabs WILL NOT BE OPENED/LOADED,
so in this way, you can create new tabs inside Safari,
BUT you will LOOSE ALL EARLIER TABS, in safe-mode.
Alternative:
there are other extension for safari, that can show list of existing tabs & edit (remove) them, ... use one of those to remove the tab that goes into specific webpage all the time.
