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.

I can't resolve the issue with memory leaks in 13.1 on Mojave. Starting in safe mode, deleting history and cookies, checking disk, reinstalling Safari from .pkg - PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS!!! Working with sites which opens pages from within pages is absolutely impossible, memory leaks infinitely!!


Never had such problem in 13.05! Apple HAD TO FIX IT!!!!

I have the same issue with Safari as described above in the thread. It seems that these updates broke Safari and the comments above indicate a re-install to fix the issue. I am new to working with MAC OS and Safari.


Can someone point me to the Safari install download? Also would I need to uninstall Safari first or can I install over what is there?


Thx for the assistance.

After 2 long calls with Apple and trying many different things, I was left with having to re-install OS X 10.13.6 and then notified I need to update Safari to 13.1.1 (1st installed this OS X and Safari 10 days ago and many problems since, e.g. can't get into iCloud). Today, after the re-install and latest Sara version update, the problem persists! Am so very frustrated.


My next step is to try updating to Mojave and hope for better Safari performance (my iMac can't handle Catalina). If you have any insights into Mojave installation, I'd appreciate it.

Join the select few of us with the same problem. After reinstalling High Sierra, I still had problems with Safari and got an new crashing problem with the Mail app. (After months of trying, I finally got mail issues but not the Safari issues resolved.) My older Mac can only operate with High Sierra and earlier, so Mojave and beyond is not an option for me. Catalina on my MacBook works correctly, even with Safari. On High Sierrra, browsers other than Safari work fine -- I use Firefox whenever I need to access iCloud.com or enter Communities discussions -- so I see it as purely an Apple issue for High Sierra users. Apple is busy getting the Big Sur macOS out and apparently have no interest in older systems.
