Safari - purple link is not displayed when I leave the page

Hi,

can you please help me? When I visit some page in MacBook Air and then leave I this page in Safari browser, the link what I visited is not change change color to purple (in 90% cases, 10% cases the purple link is displayed).


I tried:

  • create new account in Macbook (administrator)
  • delete history and cache
  • some ways to restart Safari
  • setting solutions
  • I called to telephone support Apple and visit few branches


And nothing doesn't work. I have the newest version of operating system. I try to solve this problem for 4 moths (from last week this behavior is on my iPhone SE too). Does anybody know about next solution to solve this problem in Safari?


Thank you,

David

MacBook Air

It's a bug; waiting Apple to fix it.


In the meantime, try this workaround:


Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Activate Show Develop menu in menu bar


In Develop menu -> Experimental Features > deselect Swap Processes on Cross-Site Navigation


For iOS it's something similar:


Settings -> Safari -> Advanced -> Experimental Features –> deselect Swap Processes on Cross-Site Navigation
