Safari flickering on Macbook Air M1 I don't know why my Safari is flickering. I also don't know if it is only for specific websites, but when it starts flickering, every opened tab believes the same. Well, again I don't know whether it is only for Macbook Air M1 or any other kind of device. But yes, I haven't encountered any issues like this before and Safari is working well on my iPad. Please let me know the process to overcome this particular issue as soon as possible. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Safari app flickering every 2 seconds after macOS 15.4.1 update After updating to Mac iOS 15.4.1 my Safari app keeps flickering. I tried bringing it up in the safe mode and restarting again which fixed it for a day and again it started flickering. Both my macbooks now have this issue. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Random flickering in Safari after iOS 18 update Recently I downloaded Safari 18.0 along with Sonoma 14.7 update. However after the update, Safari is showing random flickering that looks like auto page refresh (the search bar typing pauses and extension closes whenever the flicker happens). For example, Adguard icon next to the search/address bar, we can right click to access setting options. In my case, the drop down menu disappears whenever the browser flickers. This happens to other extension in Safari and not on chrome or Firefox. I’ve tried restarting the browser and the laptop, but to no avail. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance!

Hello at_w,

Are you only noticing this with Safari or have you spotted this behavior with any other apps? As a test, let's load your Mac into safe mode and see if the flickering occurs. This way, we can rule out if this is related to third-party apps or extensions. Here's how to do that: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

Cheers!
