Safari 15.0 Update Issue, macOS Catalina

"Website was reloaded because of a problem"

"A problem repeatedly occurred with (site)"

After the Safari 15.0 update on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 I'm getting the above errors on dozens of sites. The website will attempt to load several times with the "Website was reloaded" message at the top, then finally divert to a blank screen with the "A problem occurred" message in the center. The button option below is "Reload Webpage" and then the cycle repeats itself.

Computer has been restarted, Safari has been restarted, history/cache has been cleared, etc.

Is there something I can do to get this to stop so that I can actually use Safari again?

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Thank you - I'm running Big Sur 11.6. Maybe that's the problem. Is there a way to re-install Safari without having to completely reload the BIG Sur OS?

After several days of concern, found this thread, followed bryanr's instructions and accessing sites as required.

Thank you so much

I agree. This a big deal. apple needs to fix this through regular channels not some reference directly to a server somewhere.

Same issue with Safari 15.1 Update. Is there a download link to Safari 15.1 so that i could try reinstalling it?

Thanks for that, bryanr14

Before reading this thread I had re-installed Catalina and still had the reload problem with Safari 15.

After reading your reply, I've never heard of swcdn.apple.com so I did some checking. It seems to be a legitimate server for Apple but I still have one question.

Why is Apple providing a fix with this stand alone installer rather than including it in the Catalina re-install? And why aren't they making this known to us?

How did you find out about this link?

I guess I'm just trying to be careful...and a little curious

Thanks again

Hopefully. BTW it looks like the video was removed? But it's not only adding a bookmark, but simply visiting sites like Ebay or USPS and many others with required javascript turned on. Apple broke a lot of machines running Catalina.

No update showed up; the provided link for a Safari 15.0 download/reinstall and a restart seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks.

I agree. Apple needs to 'publish' legitimate sources or make them available through legitimate update channels (push it out). Not risking it in the wild.

100% agree - I'm not downloading and installing anything that hasn't been officially been rolled out by Apple. That being said, PLEASE FIX THIS! It's a major problem for us. Thank you
