I am online now after multiple Force Quits, Restarts, Disk Utility runs etc. etc. etc. How is that when I was online earlier every website I tried Safari couldn't find the Server. It couldn't find Apple or iCloud or any of the sites I wanted to visit. Two hours of wasted time.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.5

The WiFi indicator shows your connection to the WiFi access point. What your WiFi access point is connected to would be displayed on the AP itself or its dashboard.
There may have been a problem with your internet provider, with your router, or with something else. It's not something that's easy to figure out from a distance after the fact. But, given that you are apparently able to get online now, my guess would be that your internet provider was having issues.
"The machine needs to display messages which are not contradictory"
Please supply the contradictory messages so we can evaluate them. Exact wording please.
I am facing similar problem. At times or rather most of the time since last update to macOs 13.4, i am unable to open any webpage. Instead of opening webpages, safari is downloading html files. Also instead of zoom/minimise icon on top left corner of safari or any other application, i am getting a ‘+’ sign. Hovering over same gives me three options such as zoom, tile window to left and right.
Also my keyboard layout is getting changed automatically as if i have pressed right option button continuously.
Plus the stage manager is not working
You should post queries about each issue separately making sure to choose the OS and device(s) you are using from the menus below the text field. You seem to have four or five problems which might or might not be linked. The boffins will be able to advise. My Stage Manager is not working because I have switched it off as I found it more of a nuisance than help. I have a download called Windows Grid which helps me organise my Desktop windows in a way that does not produce surprises.
We have five Macs and I don't recall Safari ever failing to access apple.com. There are been times when the internet was not accessible at all, but that wasn't the fault of Safari, it was no signal, modem or router needed to be cycled and etc.

Why can't Safari find Apple.com when I'm online?
