Yes and no.

Not me. However, some users experienced slowness which was due to them having an Anti Virus software running. More specifically ESET, but any AV software could cause the slowness. Once these users uninstalled their AV software they were fine.

I must be lucky because fortunately, I have experienced no issues and in particular, none of the Safari issues being reported. In fact, I have noticed a distinguishable improvement in Safari's speed from startup time to page refreshes. I have now made Safari my default browser! Go figure!
