Safari Upgrade causes problems with many websites

I keep getting messages on several websites that say "a problem repeatedly occurred". This started when I updated Safari today. My MacBook Pro is running High Sierra, Safari 13.1. I have cleared the history and website data but I still have these issues. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this issue?

PS...all the websites that don't work in Safari work fine with Chrome. I prefer Safari so I would like to get it fixed. I assume it is some setting that was changed when I installed the latest update.

After I posted the installer-link for the reinstall, all websites were retrieved without errors. It mitigates the mentioned symptoms (after today only) of 99% of visited websites with Safari 13.1 on High Sierra. I can't believe it: The only site that hasn't worked for me so far (date 16.04.2020):

Safari 13.1 on Catalina and Chrome in general works fine. :-/

Not sure if that helps. I haven't encountered these issuess in 99% of the websites I visit since the reinstall of Safari 13.1. But you can try it, only High Sierra-Link: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/17/46/061-76194-A_7BNHD7EHXZ/5hnx1yupozav72zybadbe97vjowmexsmqh/Safari13.1.1HighSierraAuto.pkg . This link will be deprecated with a new Safari-Version.


The following website and the only one still does not work with Safari 13.1.1. on High Sierra: https://www.apple.com/de/iphone-se/ , OMG.

I'm sure I used the above link and it worked for me. Very grateful for it.

This was happening to me.. it could be due to the fact that you have

High Sierra v. 10.13.6,

Safari v. Version 11.1.2 (13605.3.8) and this

Security Update ... Installed... and it causes a problem.

Try Rebooting and holding 'Command+r' use that to install your operating system again (DONT USE OPTION ERASE DISK FIRST). Then when you open the App Store, make sure your Preferences page is set to not automatically install Security Updates...

I would be very cautious about downloading a Safari installation package from any non-Apple website. The downloads sometimes contain adware/malware. If you want to download from a non-Apple website, I suggest you do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives before downloading. That gives you a way to recover, should it be necessary.
