macOS Monterey and Safari

Hi Jules-Aymeric,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having an issue with Safari since updating to macOS Monterey. We're happy to provide some information to assist.

We recommend viewing and completing the steps outlined here: If Safari on Mac doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected

Specifically the section "Test with a private window" which states.

Test with a private window 

A website can store cookies, caches, and other data on your Mac, and issues with that data can affect your use of the website. To prevent the website from using that data, view the website in a private window: Choose File > New Private Window.

If that works, use the following steps to remove the website's data from your Mac. The website can then create new data as needed. If it's a website that you sign in to, make sure that you know your sign-in information before continuing.

1. Choose Safari > Preferences, then click Privacy.
2. Click Manage Website Data.
3. Select the affected website from the list shown.
4. Click Remove.
5. Click Done.
6. Open the website again in a non-private browser window.

If the issue continues you can also test in a new user account and safe mode. The articles below can assist with those steps.

This issue may be related to running Safari on Intel chips. Just switched my 2019 MacBook Pro out for a 2020 M1 Mac mini and Safari is operating normally.

Totally agree - something is horribly wrong with Safari. I too have links open to blank tabs, even after disabling blockers, enabling pop-ups, and completely clearing the cache. I love much of the Safari functionality, but it's becoming too much trouble for regular use.

same issue. all google search results are frozen, can't click on anything.. Safari on Monterey

I actually have the same issue with a Macbook Pro with m1 chip

performance is the WORST... any suggestion?

The chipset shouldn't matter... Up until Monterey, Safari was the best browser on the Mac, now it's the worst of the 4 main browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari). Too many issues to ignore.

I am having the same issue. Truncated pages. Unable to click links. Have removed all website date, cleared cache, restarted MacBook. Keeps coming back. On a 2019 MB Pro 13".
