Q: Safari 9.0.3 Performance Issues
-
Jan 21, 2016 11:46 AMby dumpster01,I understand that some OS X purists are quite opinionated when it comes to antivirus software and see it as 'completely worthless'. However, I've been hacked in the past (probably due to my own inexperience and naiveté) and had my bank account cleaned out. I was running without antivirus (on a Mac) and fell victim to a key-logger. So even tho antivirus may seem to be without practical value to some, it at least affords me what little peace of mind I still have left.

Your 'peace of mind' is what's causing the problems on your Mac.

I do not have any extensions and have the hanging problem. Any other possibilities?
Do you have Anti-virus packages installed?
Are you running Mavericks?
Did you just apply an OS X security update?
And as suggested by , have you tried booting into Safe mode to eliminate 3rd party software influence?

Jan 27, 2016 1:01 AMby pigybank,Safari 9.0.3 is all but completely unusable on my system. I trashed all the preferences, history, cookies, etc. I have no extensions.
It hangs loading the first page but eventually loads. It will load a 2nd page in a 2nd tab, and then stop working completely.
After numerous tries it sometimes will eventually load bookmarked pages, but not pages from typed addresses.
There is also a major redraw error in the address bar.
