Picture in picture mode lacking

New M4 Pro Macbook Pro. Picture in picture mode in Safari freezes every 23 sec, for like 2 sec and then it continue for another 23 sec, freezes for 2 sec etc etc.

It's done that since I got the Macbook. My old Intel Macbook didn't have this for me, huge problem.

Chrome doesn't have this problem, only Safari.

Lates OS (15.3.2) no Safari extensions.

MacBook Pro (M4)

After the latest update to Safari (16.4.1) jpegs on some sites are loading "corrupted" Its not universal but I am getting corrupted jpegs on some websites after the 12.6.5 updates and/or 16.4.1 Safari update. Is anyone else having an issue with corrupted jpegs on some sites in safari after these updates? Not all websites and not even all jpegs on the page, but many times jpegs are displaying half or more complete with the rest full of static (like from an OTA TV without a signal - though sometimes it kinda looks like interlaced scan lines). UI elements (that are jpegs or other formates themselves) from the same site display fine, and right clicking and displaying the corrupt image in its own tab is fine. Kinda like it half loaded. Its odd I thought it might have been an Apple silicon thing but it happens on both my Mac Studio with M1 Max and a 2018 Intel Mac. No issues with Safari on iOS or iPad OS... just Mac OS and only after the latest update to it and the latest Safari update (not sure if its a safari or macos issue) I do run AdGuard plugin/extension but even with it disabled it still does it. The specific site it does it most often on is www.cbc.ca for me... it could be an issue with the CMS the site is using, but often the individual story thumbnails is usually corrupted but the rest of the sites UI elements are fine. Reloading the page sometimes fixes, but sometimes a page that was fine, is corrupt when reloading it. CBC is the biggest offender but I've had other websites have the same issue (ie. ikea). Pretty much any site that uses a backend content management system... it could be that the lazy tag is being used, which safari doesn't support, but until this last update never had this corruption issue when loading content on these sites.

macOS 15.3 Safari does not display X GIF search graphics and AVIs I updated (M3 iMac) to macOS 15.3 yesterday, Monday 28 Jan 2025. I am seeing a number of Safari graphics failures in X as a result. I am curious as to whether anyone else is seeing this problem. The problem is illustrated in the two screenshots- X allows you to search for GIFs to use in posts, first image. But if I click on one category (or alternatively, enter my own search criteria), all I see now is shown in the second image. If you are familiar with X, normally sample GIFs to use would be shown. I can still click on one of those colored boxes and get some random GIF for a post, and it works fine. But I cannot review it first. So this option (the GIF search feature in X) is basically useless in macOS 15.3. I want to be clear about some things before people suggest this. GIFs work. Also, I also cleared history/cache and still had the problem. I also rebooted twice since the update. And no, I do not intended to use another browser since X has a habit of preventing logins when "too many logins have been tried." Safari was working fine before I updated to macOS 15.3. I am wondering if Apple AI is interfering?
