Most of the times safari is not able to load websites.

Many a times I have observed that safari does not load websites. I have cleared history, cookies and cache and still it is the same. I have downloaded chrome and it works perfectly fine with it. This happens on my Mac Safari Browser and also on my iPhone Safari Browser. I previously trusted Safari and was not using any other browser, but this is really a high time to switch. Safari has become a piece of **** to me now and I am very open to search a different browser now. This is ridiculous.

I understand you exhausted all the steps in that Apple Support document, meaning Safari does not reliably load web pages while using a Private Window, that there are no VPNs involved, nor are there any proxy settings or custom DNS settings in use. No Extensions are installed. Creating a new Network Location does not resolve the problem either.


Please determine if the same problems occur in "Safe Mode": How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support. Try using Safari for a while in that mode, then reboot normally, and report your results. There will be more troubleshooting steps to follow.

Thanks for the reply, but to be honest I have tried all those steps and still it gives me the same issue. I am a tech savvy person and had previously tried all TRG before posting this discussion. I think Apple needs to accept that few websites doesn't support well with Safari and hence there is a problem. There is no VPN connected, no software updates pending, reset all settings. While opening the page is Safari it remains blank and at the same time with Chrome it opens on a click. Problem is neither with the website, nor the settings on the system or browser settings. Problem is with the Safari browser.

There's obviously some sort of buggy stuff going on since the most recent Safari update. Maybe it's not happening on your devices, or a million others, but it's happening on who knows how many others? Ever since this update, lots of websites that previously worked fine, are no longer doing so! I click on a link, and the page goes blank, which had happened even to this website! I kept trying to log in, my auto-fill little window popped up, I clicked on the "use the password from this site" option, and then the whole window would go blank! Over & over, until finally I manually wrote in my administrator password, which I've not ever had to do. Other sites aren't opening, or all the copy on the page would vanish, etc, etc. Updating the OS to 11.7.6, and Safari to 16.4.1 have brought all this weird behavior on. I'd installed nothing else. The OS update actually did fix something that wouldn't let me open the Text Edit app (& had been told by someone here, it would only work if I update to Ventura (which I do plan to do pretty soon, but obviously that was not why Text Edit wasn't working).


But while it fixed that, it's made browsing and interacting with sites a royal pain...
