Safari: no space left on device

Hi,

since the upgrade to MacOS Monterey I am getting always the error message in Safari that I have no space left on the device. This mostly only happens when I have two or more tabs open.

My hard drive has currently over 300GB free space and my iCloud more than 1.5TB; not sure where I need to allocate more space.

My device(s):

happens both on 2019 16inch MacBookPro and 2020 27inch IMAC
both devices are on the latest version of Monterey 12.0.1
both devices have over 300GB of free space on hard drive

This error message also only comes on Safari; do not have issues with any other Application.

Using Chrome now mostly, but would like to switch back to Safari (however Chrome works fine and is stable and with Safari I cannot open more than one tab currently)

Thanks

Alex

iMac 27″, macOS 12.0

Hi,

I found a post on reddit with a simple solution:

Open the Safari Preferences and go to Privacy
Turn off the option Hide IP address from trackers
Done!

It works just fine and webpages are loading again after turning that off.

And please report that bug to Apple here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html

So they can fix that annoying bug in a future release.

Thanks :-)

It seems like no one from Apple gives a second about this issue... no idea when it will be fixed. I have completed switching to Chrome because of the issue

This was fixed for me with the last MacOS update (12.2.1). None of the suggestions regarding the privacy settings were of any help.

I said this was fixed with MacOS 12.2. I guess I jinxed it, because the 12.3 update just broke it for me again. Guess i'm going back to Firefox...

I'm done with Safari. This is a joke. Seen this issue all over the net and it's still not fixed. Hate to say it but Edge is working just fine on my Mac.
