Q: Safari 10.0 (El Capitan) suddenly won't open any page from Brazil

Hello:

For the past 3 days, I can't open any web page hosted in Brazil (.br) on Safari. When I paste the same address into other browsers on the same Mac (ie Chrome, Firefox). the pages load without problem.

Why is Safari blocking Brazil, and how can I stop this from happening?

Thank you.

MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), null

A:

Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History…. The down side is it clears all cookies. Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db and move it to the trash.

 

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
