Safari freezes Hotmail and other sites
I use Safari 9.1.1/OSX 10.10.5 on MacBook Pro Retina. Hotmail and a number of other sites often freezes in Safari when all other browsers such as Chrome and Firefox do not. I use Safari as my default browser - a dinosaur species, I know. So when this happens more and more frequently and when more and more sites cause this freeze, it can get very frustrating.
When this happens, other tabs, opened before or after the problematic tab usually would not be affected. Only occasionally does the entire browser goes unresponsive. If I close the tab and reopen the same site, the problem may not go away; on the other hand, if I close Safari and reopen the same site, the problem often goes away (but still no guarantee).
I have searched this forum and seen many prior questions of the same nature, some dating back many years. They all have one thing in common: No magic cure. Most often the OP never updates with success. Some simply switch to another browser, some eradicates Safari from the system using 3rd party tools. Is that the only solution?
