Safari 16.0 and MSN not compatible?

Opening MSN after upgrading to Safari 16.0 is not working very well. The MSN page usually just hangs, but I can go to other sites (bookmarks, etc.) with no issues. And, on the few occasions when I can get into MSN, it seems to work well while I'm on the site, but it causes Safari to hang (not respond) with the spinning wheel when I try to go to another site, so I have to Force Quit Safari in order to do anything else.

FWIW, MSN works fine in Chrome and FireFox. Only having issues in Safari after the upgrade.

Any ideas?

Thanks, that was the ticket.

However, it wasn't as simple as that in my case, as I had tried entering MSN.com directly into the address bar and it kept failing.

However, I noticed MSN was bookmarked with an HTTP prefix and figured this may be causing the issue no matter what I entered in the address bar.

So, I changed the bookmarked address to MSN.com and it now works like a charm.

Simply deleting www. from the front of the www.msn.com URL let me access the site.

Update: Just noticed that Apple is labeling MSN.com as an "Not Secure" web site. This is probably what is causing my problem. Any way to get around it?
