Safari 17.5 on my MacBook Pro freezes intermittently

When using Safari 17.5 I have a couple of issues.


  1. Sometime the page freezes. You can browse the document, but it is as if the page is pdf. No links work and the page cannot be refreshed.
  2. Sometimes when scrolling down the page, as content loads, when I try to navigate back to the top of the page, it is blank, and I have to reload the page.

I don't suppose you've found a solution for this? I get the same behaviour and it's only in the last month or so. Exactly as you describe, the page will freeze and be un-clickable/unusable. Often, not even reloading the page will work, it just fails to render (often in the same way). Closing Safari usually works around specific pages but it is usually not long before another page glitches. I've restarted my MBP but this can happen quite soon after opening Safari or sometimes after a day or so.


Safari for (in my experience) the first time is practically impossible to use as it simply disrupts my workflow too much.


This seems to have happened after the latest update(s) to Sonoma, i.e. Sonoma/Safari was working fine until about the last month.
