Safari is slow after Mojave update

Hi,

I've installed Mojave two days ago, but I have started to notice Safari getting stuck for about 4-5 seconds after going to the previous page (in sites like YouTube or Reddit). It's strange as I've got a freshly installed OS and a powerful machine (15 inch 2017 MPB).

Does anyone have this problem?

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Mojave (10.14)

I had the same problem. After deinstalling my Adblocker (ABP from Adblock Plus), Safari works fine again.

Greets,

The difference between a 'normal' spinning HDD and a SSD is night and day. Even my sons MBP 15 Late 2008 runs smooth with the latest OS after I replaced the HDD with a SSD.

I also had the same problem and after removing Adblocker (ABP from Adblock Plus), Safari starts working fine.

Thanks for this. Had the same issue and uninstalling ADB worked like a charm.

I had to do the same thing. Switched once to Chrome, then Firefox, then back to Safari, then just couldn't take it anymore. Now it is Firefox permanently
