Safari problem after Tahoe 26.0.1 update

Ever since I did the update, Tahoe 26.0.1, my MacBook Air 2022 M2 Chip, Safari is not functioning. Web pages won't load, if they load they are incomplete. When I restart, it works for a while and then reverts to the problem. I run an antivirus and that states there is no virus. Anyone have an idea what this is and how to correct it?

Uninstall whatever it was you installed. Rule 1 of Macs is don't install junk.


Follow its uninstallation instructions. Ensure its complete utter and irrevocable eradication from that Mac. Then and only then read If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on Mac - Apple Support.

This is really disappointing. Since installing Tahoe 26, I have been denied access to a variety of websites. I have Malwarebytes for security purpose of my business. Never had any problems until newest update Tahoe 26.


I need this fixed. I have see all the other supporting docs. and tried turning off my VPN, still happening even after restarting. Please let me know.

Tahoe has been a complete disaster for me : Safari - has become so buggy (button clicks, failing, forms not saving, slow, weirdness all over the place. Apple Mail also almost as bad - search can't find recent emails. Email views incomplete.


Is Apple Intelligence to blame? So far Tahoe is a joke and doesn't appear to be an easy way to go back to the previous OS.


C'mon Apple - this feels like Microsoft in the Naughties.

After installing Tahoe, it ran into a lot of problems like most webpage won't load, power point stuck, all the programs seems to slow down in operation. Programs like Logic Pro, Final Cut and I am sure there will be more. I work with these programs and the new update really hurt my work flow. And also for iPhone recent update (glass looking layout) too. So much problem. I hope apple fix all immediately.

I have a Imac 24' 8gb M1chip with the MAC OC of Tahoe 26.3 (which I am NOT impressed with) and like everyone else here I am having major delay issues and can't find server issues with Safari. I then installed Firefox and it worked about 10 minutes and then started lagging as well.


I reinstalled the OS just incase there was a blip on the upgrade... Safari finds the search request and when you click on a link to view the search results the system then dogs down and sometimes in loads after about 4 minutes and other times it provides that it can't find the server.


Anyone else have an idea of what to do to repair this problem that Apple Support and Apple Developers clearly are NOT addressing?


My mother-in-law who is 87 is having the exact same problem and she too has the same iMac as I do with the same OS.


Open to suggestions. Many thanks in advance! Suz

Right now I am having to use Chrome to sign in and post. After the MacOS 26.4 update when signing in with Safari the support page comes up blank and if I try to post a comment or reply to a comment the same thing happens. Now one time while trying to sign in to community support I did get a message stating it was down for maintenance but that only happened once and then the blank pages came back. Switched over to Chrome and as you can see I was able to sign in and post.


Oh, and one more gripe. iPhone remote for music is still broken.
