My tab appears without its link

Hi!

I've been facing this for quite a while and I thought it was just a software issue, but I keep getting annoyed by it:

Whenever I switch around, it keeps opening the search bar...

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks,

Safari tab issues Hello! First of all, really starting to like the browser and the general idea of how it organizes it's tabs, especially unloading them from the memory if you chagne tab groups, etc. So, really would like to try and use it more, but there are few obvious problems, which prevents me from using it daily. I know it's been mention before, but wanted to make the team aware of it again. So, one problem is that when you type stuff in the address bar, it sometimes loses focus and the text get's deleted. Another one, if you close a tab, then try to reopen it (cmd+shift+t), it reopens and then immediately disappears again, not only from the tab bar, but it seems even from the history. Sometimes even when making a new tab and navigtating to some url, it closes that tab after a bit of time. So yea, feels very fragile and can't trust the browser for now, especially with many tabs open in many groups. Another thing I think would be a nice change is, if you have some url open in one tab group, and you try open it in another one, you get switched to that previous tab group. I think a better solution would be to either do nothing or make the user aware of that this tab is also open in other groups. Thanks!

Safari tabs going blank, can't refresh I usually have 10-15 tabs open in Safari. Sometimes a tab (or multiple tabs) will go blank. As in, if I switch to that tab, it will just display a big white rectangle. No content. The title of the tab is correct, and the icon is correct, but there's nothing in the tab. If I refresh the tab, it refreshes a blank page. There's no URL to copy and paste into a different tab to re-load the content; the URL is blank. (Even though, again, the title of the tab is correct.) If I want to go back to the page the tab was displaying, I have to find it again via Google or whatever. Usually by searching for the title of the tab, which is still visible. This usually only happens to one tab at a time, all my other tabs are unaffected. Sometimes it happens to two tabs. Does anybody else have this problem?

Safari tabs non responsive Starting today I've noticed that a bunch of tabs that I have open in Safari 16.3 are non-responsive. What this means is that I can see the tab, but clicking on it does nothing. Some tabs in a window are ok, but others are not. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to which ones. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Any suggestions? I've tried clearing the cache, but that doesn't help.

No details here...(?)

My best advise try a different browser.

As a test, set Safari.app as the default browser and compare your results.
