Safari performance issues with Monterey 12.0.1

I have a 2017 13" Macbook Pro and just upgraded to Monterey 12.0.1. Safari has constant problems. Notably it freezes and has to be force closed and restart. There are other issues an annoyances as well like when operating in full screen mode I have my tool bar set to hide when browsing. Normally, when you bring the cursor to the top of the screen the toolbar pops back down. A large percentage of the time it does not and I have to exit full screen mode to access the toolbar...very frustrating. I've cleared history and cache etc as well as reinstalled Monterey and am still having the same issues. Any advice?

APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS

Apple personnel are not here. We're all end users like yourself.

Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC and recommended by Apple Support to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

IMPORTANT:

Before running Etrecheck assign Full Disk Access to Etrecheck in the Etrecheck's Privacy preference pane so that it can get additional information from the Console and log files for the report:

Also click and read the About info to further permit full disk access.

Copy the report

and use the Additional Text button to include the report in your reply.
