Safari won't load after High Sierra upgrade

Downloaded and installed High Sierra.

Everything seems to be working fine- including Chrome browser.

However, Safari will not open any webpages. App launches.

Attempt to load webpage and seems to freeze- progress bar does not move.

No error message.

Any thoughts on how to troubelshoot?

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13), 13 inch

Same problem....tried everything in the previous replies--nothing worked. Very frustrating as other apps are working. Maybe I need more space but not sure why all of a sudden...

Thanks
