Why is Safari so slow after upgrading to macOS Sonoma?

I have an M2 MacBook Air with 16GB memory. I do not use a VPN, and I do not have any extensions in Safari. I have not changed anything before installing macOS Sonoma. Yet, Safari has become unusably slow. Web pages take minutes to load, and sometimes don't even load. Searches don't execute for tens of seconds. I have switched off "Hide my IP Address", but even this did not help. Does anyone have any idea what else I can do other than switching to Chrome?

MacBook Air, macOS 14.0

Turn off automatic proxy in WiFi settings.

Settings - WiFi - Click on more/details on the the WiFi you are connected with - Proxy’s - Turn off automatic proxy detection

It should fix the problem because it did with mine. When I turn in on again the problem happens again.

You’re welcome :)
