The automatic update to Safari 15 (Catalina) came across yesterday and now a huge number of websites no longer open. The problem seems to begin after attempting to login - the redirect confuses the browser. Does anyone know what's going on?
Switching to Opera and Brave until this gets fixed. See screenshot for typical error page below.....

try re-installing the Safari 15 (92.5 MB Installer pkg):
Very nice of you LD - but just in the interest of security, is there a link to the standalone Safari 15 installer direct from Apple's support site? I haven't been able to find one.
On the linked file posted here - “Show Package Contents” option isn’t available - and drilling down in Terminal could be a project if there are multiple levels of nested packages! Not to say anything nefarious is in there but I'm just a couple extra levels of cautious these days. Please no offense.
This is Apple's own swCDN (software content distribution network) as seen from the link's domain name:
swcdn.apple.com/...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've tried everything that has been posted about how to correct this PROBLEM. I've even reinstalled OS10 Catalina, and nothing! Used the link to download 15.0 Safari and BOOM, Safari works once again!
Good day.
My father had a similar issue with his older Macbook and asked me for help.
A reinstall of macOS temporarily fixed his problem, until automatic updates brought the issue back.
Reinstalling Safari (the installer package for Catalina) did not fix anything.
In the end, the fix came down to the following:
In the Safari Menu Bar, go to Develop >> Experimental Features >> then check both WebGL 2.0 and WebGL via Metal.
If Develop is not in the Safari Menu bar, go to Safari >> Preferences >> Advanced >> and tick "Show Develop menu in menu bar" down the bottom.
I hope this helps out most of the folks in this thread. Have a nice day!
I found this on another site, works on my mid 2012 MBP:
In the Safari Menu Bar, go to Develop >> Experimental Features >> then check both WebGL 2.0 and WebGL via Metal.
If Develop is not in the Safari Menu bar, go to Safari >> Preferences >> Advanced >> and tick "Show Develop menu in menu bar" down the bottom, then go to Develop >> Experimental Features >> then check both WebGL 2.0 and WebGL via Metal
Hope this helps, sure helped me
Updated to Monterey 12.1 with Safari 15.2 and when I click links in one Tab another new Tab opens my Start page and the first/intended link does not resolve. I digested this thread and went ahead and UNCHECKED the WebGL 2.0 and WebGL via Metal. Issue resolved.
I've done a bug report but just posting this as a followup - Safe Mode in a complete blank Admin account - as predicted - same problem.
Thanks - clearing cookies doesn't solve the issue. pages become stable if I turn off "enable Javascript" - however most require JS to work properly.
This solved the issue for me. At least, Safari is working again but we'll see how long it lasts. Thank you.
leroydouglas is absolutely right - thanks
That worked for me too.. Thanks for sharing.
You are awesome igirl1! Thanks for the help. I'm back in action too! Phew!
This worked for me! Thanks!
Worked like a charm.
Thanks a lot.
have you tried reinstalling the Safari update. ?? has worked for others ? it seem that maybe there was some interaction from installing the security patch and safari 15.
Good Luck.
I tried all sorts of things for the last few days including Apple chat room. what I should have done is come here first. Installed Safari 15 - worked and fixed issue. Thanks a bunch
some people have had success by reinstalling Safari 15. there is a link in one of the above comments to the Apple link.
Safari 15 not opening websites - "a problem repeatedly occurred"
