Hi. Glitches are occurring in Safari since the latest upgrade 2021. Any tips out there form anyone else experiencing this?

Go step by step and test.

1. Update Safari, if an update is available. Update may come with bug fixes.

3. Startup in Safe Mode. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/start-up-your-mac-in-safe-mode-mh21245/mac.

    It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. 

    And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and 

    the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.

4. Clear History

    Please read the article before clearing history, 

    this is like a low level resetting of Safari without affecting passwords and bookmarks.

5. If Safari doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected
