This seems to be similar to issues others are having after the Safari 14.1 update 4/27/2021 that was part of the Catalina 10.15.7 update and it relates to JavaScript.  


Test the following:


Turn off “Enable Javascript” in Safari: Preferences: Security 


See if this resolves the the issue loading pages  


This is not a solution since pages are only partially complete and lacks any Javascript functionality.  


I am still searching for a fix.


Bottom Line: At this point this is most likely an Apple bug/issue related to 14.1 and they need to offer a fix other than an OSX reinstall and that reminds me of the #1 Microsoft Windows issue solution!

having the same issue, I am unable to sign in on some sites and most troublingly eBay, the site reloads on the home page but worst of all I can't log in and get "an error repeatedly occurred". tried everything, resetting smc etc, changing loads of settings, proxies, everything. disabling javascript or blocking all cookies might help but renders the browser unusable.

This is a big problem that needs to be fixed ASAP. If I disabled Javascript, the pages with load but not function. I don't want to use another browser because I don't know my passwords to most of my accounts--trying to pay bills is becoming a problem since this issue has been going on for days! APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!


PS. I also don't want to reinstall MacOS. That's just ridiculous.

Thank you very much jdmcmurtry.


Excellent info. Apple should have fessed up with a 14.1.1 version update, but at least we can see they hid their mistake with BUILD change from xxx.5 to xxx.7.


And yes, Howard's blog has helped me numerous times in the past and it is mind boggling how much time he offers.

Oh, and his free little SilentKnight app is excellent for us wanting to keep track of internal version numbers and firmware changes.

Oh just can it will you. These ‘evil’ Apple conspiracy theories are tiresome and boring. These are user-to-user forums and Apple support is not here. Apple isn’t ‘hiding’ anything. macOs Catalina 10.15.7 has had two updates since its release and it is also still at 10.15.7. Apple’s nomenclature is their business.


Your conspiracy accusations will get you ignored in the future by volunteers that would normally respond.

I have the same problem too. My IPad which I’m using has been having “repeated problems” in safari. Also my apps having been refreshing almost every time I leave the app. (The IPad os an Air 2 if anyone was wondering) hopefully I find an answer to this problem,because it’s getting kinda annoying having an app refreshing every time you use it or having it refreshed every 10 seconds.
