Safari Does Not Load Certain Web Sites

I'm running a MacBook Pro Mid 2015. Running macOS Monterey 12.7.2. Safari 17.2.1

Recently Safari on this Mac 'hangs' when trying to load a few of the web sites I frequently use. I down loaded a virus scanner and my mac is clean. I downloaded Firefox and can load the web sites easily. I can access these same sites on my husbands Mac (MacBook Pro 2016 - running macOS Monterey 12.6 Safari 16.0). I've done all the potential steps found in the forum (cleared cookies, cleared history, checked extensions, tried to open in a private window, etc.). Any suggestions are appreciated.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7

No obvious causes appear. Try the following. Create a new, temporary User Account: Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support. Be sure to give it Administrator privileges. Give it an arbitrary, throwaway name. You can skip the steps for signing in to an Apple ID (choose "set up later").


Log in to that temporary Account and see if you experience the same problems with Safari. Please reply with your observations.


When you are finished troubleshooting you can delete that temporary Account: Delete a user or group on Mac - Apple Support
