Safari won't open any websites after I just updated to Catalina 10.15.8

Safari won't open any websites after I just updated to Catalina 10.15.8, I'm on a really old iMac 21.5 inch, late 2013. Could someone help me as I can't afford a new computer right now. Thank You.

There are many possible causes for the issue you describe ... finding the right cause may help solve it.


Eg: You might want to check whether your Mac has enough free memory / stoage space:

A Mac needs at least 50 Gb free for your Operating System to work smoothly. (ie: not iCloud storage)

For MacOS Catalina: See used and available storage space on your Mac - Apple Support
