Safari 13.0 freezing

I installed Safari 13.0 today thinking it might have important security updates. It has frozen twice already. When it freezes it also prevents me from clicking on the Apple icon to access the Force Quit menu item. I have to use Option-Command-Esc to force quit safari.

I am not using any extensions.

Also its behaviour with text boxes (i.e logins) seems to be erratic - sometimes the web page kicks me off the text input page.

I will try emptying cache etc but suspect others will find the same issues.

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

This is happening to me too. Usually after about 36 hours I will go to open a new tab and the page never loads. I can go to another tab and open a link on that page, but if I try to open a new address, it just sits. The odd thing is Firefox is working without any problems. I've tried all of the suggestions with no luck (deleting extensions/add in/scripts). I have checked and my system meets all the requirements. I did reinstall Catalina as it hung during the first install and I had to restart the process. I thought this may contribute to the Catalina issue, but the re-install didn't help. I am thinking of either rolling back to the last OS or just making Firefox my only browser. Has anyone found anything useful yet? This has been going on for 3 weeks and the only fix I've found is a full system reboot.
