When going to some web pages, or even going to SETTINGS instantly goes to spinning beach ball ... this started after upgrading from 14.1 to 14.2 and continues with 14.2.1 -- Does anyone know a "fix" or cause, or when is Apple going to admit there's a problem and fix it?
Happening on my new mac mini (2023) and MacBook air (2019)

Mac mini (M2, 2023)
Had a long "chat" with apple -- suggested bringing SAFARI up in safe mode (hold shift key while double clicking SAFARI) worked for a while then back to beach ball. The behavior is intermittent, have been on website scrolling down then near bottom, spinning beach ball.
Apple has a problem with 14.2 and 14.2.1 but I don't see any feedback from Apple about solving. Apple chat has made of note of it, but let's see how long for Apple to acknowledge problem and fix (Maybe 14.3 ?)

I have the same issue. After updating to MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 my Safari browser freezes with a spinning beach ball every few minutes. When kill the browser and restart it, it works for a few minutes before freezing again. This renders the Safari browser unusable. I had to switch to Chrome to be able to surf the web.
Hardware is a 2022 Mac Studio with M1 Max Processor.
Frustrated as he.. Safari gives the red ball spinning continuously when trying toaccess videos or when ona website looking for critical information - gets so far and then when the article or a video apewears all that comes up is a balnk grey screen - seems like Apple has no interest since Sonoma 14.2.1 as it is still present on 14.3.1
