Safari problem after Tahoe 26.0.1 update

Ever since I did the update, Tahoe 26.0.1, my MacBook Air 2022 M2 Chip, Safari is not functioning. Web pages won't load, if they load they are incomplete. When I restart, it works for a while and then reverts to the problem. I run an antivirus and that states there is no virus. Anyone have an idea what this is and how to correct it?

Uninstall whatever it was you installed. Rule 1 of Macs is don't install junk.


Follow its uninstallation instructions. Ensure its complete utter and irrevocable eradication from that Mac. Then and only then read If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on Mac - Apple Support.

My problem is that after installing Tahoe on my laptop, Safari won't let me input a URL when I open a new window, or select and copy URLs in tabs I have open. If I click in the tab address of one I have opened, it gives me a drop down with the full address, but it won't let me select it in either the address bar or the drop down.

If I create a new tab (that isn't home page, Google) it just says untitled and does nothing if I click on it. If I open


I have not added any anti-virus software and I have quit and reopened Safari and restarted my laptop twice.

Attached are screenshots of untitled windows and URL drop down menus, and the Settings I have selected.

This is really disappointing. Since installing Tahoe 26, I have been denied access to a variety of websites. I have Malwarebytes for security purpose of my business. Never had any problems until newest update Tahoe 26.


I need this fixed. I have see all the other supporting docs. and tried turning off my VPN, still happening even after restarting. Please let me know.

Tahoe has been a complete disaster for me : Safari - has become so buggy (button clicks, failing, forms not saving, slow, weirdness all over the place. Apple Mail also almost as bad - search can't find recent emails. Email views incomplete.


Is Apple Intelligence to blame? So far Tahoe is a joke and doesn't appear to be an easy way to go back to the previous OS.


C'mon Apple - this feels like Microsoft in the Naughties.
