Safari

It takes ages for a web page or Google search to come up. I've done the usual things - clear my history etc. Any suggestions?


Many thanks for any.

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.


Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

Hi Eric, Many thanks for this. I removed the only extension I had and Safari now works much better. The only problem is it was something provided by my bank for extra security, so I'm a bit nervous about removing it. I'll get in touch with the bank and see what they suggest as their security solution clearly isn't very satisfactory
