SAFARI does not work on most websites What is happening to Safari 16.1 in Ventura 13.01? Most websites do not even load even if the content restrictions are disabled in the Safari settings? Everything works on the same iMac Pro in Microsoft's Edge, Firefox, Chrome. WHY is Safari such a junk browser after the latest updates????? I was relying on Safari for all my work, and all of a sudden I am forced to use browsers that I am not so found of to do basic browsing and work. This is ridiculous...is this Ventura pushing Intel-based Macs users to buy M1 Macs or just Apple MacOS turning into a Windows XP -type experience?? Anyone else having these issues?

webloc files do not open with default browser Since updating to Mac OS 13.1, files with the .webloc file extension open by default in Safari even when I have a different web browser set as my default. These files should open in the default web browser as chosen in my settings. I hope Apple will fix this ASAP. And I really hope this is not some sneaky way to try to force people to use Safari when they don't want to.

Opening new window doesn't work after upgrading to ventura Since I upgraded to ventura I have an issue with opening an new window. Eg when on safari I choice opening a new window I got opening a new tab. For other apps like terminal, pages etc the behavior is simular. I can drag the tab outside the window to get 2 safari windows. But this is stupid because double work. I guess there is a new setting somewhere hidden to set this. I searched for a few months but didn't find something. Does anybody have a good tip how to restore the correct working? Saying that when I want to open a window a window opens.

Q - " chrome app, (such as YouTube) " + " without opening chrome? "

A - Youtube normally resides on the Internet and the use must open a Web Browser to maneuver to the YouTube website

It appears the user has the Web Browser Chrome installed on this computer and this behaviour would be normal - that the Web Browser would open.
