@simonbs The same issue is happening repeatedly for me on multiple sites using Safari this afternoon. The only consistent way to fix has been to completely restart Safari.

@simonbs what’s going on do you think? I have zero issues with safari.

Have you tried creating a new user on your Mac and checking how it works there?

I’d hate to experience what you are and consider using chrome or something 🫨🫨🫨

@mttsmth I wish I knew but every time I post something like this, I hear from other people seeing similar issues.

@simonbs have you tried creating a new account on your Mac and testing there? Does it happen on all your devices?

simonbs, 28 days ago

@mttsmth I haven't tried creating a new account. It's not that I don't see occasional odd things in Safari on iOS but I think that's something else. I see the majority of the issues on macOS.

@simonbs creating a dummy account and browsing around for a while (depends how frequently you see the issue) should give you an indication if it’s Safari or potentially some issues with your config. Could be an interplay of extensions, corrupt pref files, something iCloud is doing etc etc

Using a dummy account will be almost the equivalent of a clean install.

@simonbs To be perfectly honest: while I’m having some minor issues with Safari form time to time - those are nowhere near the issues you seems to have 🤔

Thinking about possible other reasons for that - network issues?

simonbs, 29 days ago

@kkolakowski I’ve thought about it and I won’t rule out it’s part of it but I don’t see how network issues could cause Safari to stop rendering pages or go blank when I navigate back and forth between tabs. It seems to happen for all websites.

@simonbs I regularly have problems with Safari and GitHub (and a couple other sites) and I've never been sure if it is Safari being weird or something site-specific.
