Safari 15 slow and buggy on M1 MacBook Pro

Hey all,

I am just wondering if anyone else with the an M1 Pro MacBook Pro is suffering from really poor performance from Safari?

my issues:

Search bars occasionally seize up.

intermittent slowdown in page load times (deffo not my internet connection, I have made direct comparisons). sometimes the load hangs for 10-15 seconds or so while chrome loads immediately.

random page freezes where I can no longer interact with the page I’m viewing.

Thanks.

Looks like this is not isolated

to just you.
Many posters on many sites are reporting the same thing

My question.

Why must we use Safari? I use Chrome, Opera and Firefox.

A valid question.

The choice of browsers is quite broad but I expect the poster, as I do, wonder why Apple cannot get their branded browser to work nicely on their branded OS.

My bet is this.

It’s likely for the same reasons as why some sites work on only a few browsers. I’m sure you’ve heard of “insert company name here” sites that only worked on IE6 or such.

Be sure to take notice of the “browser scores.”
