Yep. It works fine while on WiFi and working somewhere. Then I close the MacBook and go somewhere else (same WiFi, different access point) and it doesn’t work. Other browsers work fine.

iCloud Private Relay sucks.

selig.bsky.social•90 days ago

It's already off ;_;

penryu.bsky.social•90 days ago

Ah, I was thinking it was something I'd have to go turn off too, but I was saved by not using Safari at all since I left the company.[*]

[*] Okay, I tried out the vertical tab feature, but it was insufficient to justify changing browsers.

That's been happening to me for years, but it seems like it's been doing it less in the past few. Still have no idea why it does that.

I think this has been an issue since the last few updates of iOS 17 :(

jordanhogan.bsky.social•90 days ago

No, but I have a similar issue with safari in the public beta of 18.2. I’ll be on an active page and it’ll just crash and refuse to refresh for about the same length of time…

I haven’t added feedback yet but I need to when it happens again.

moonbow.photography•90 days ago

Yeah, I think it’s iCloud private relay

buttons.bsky.social•90 days ago

Haven’t had any issues with Safari on Seqouia

artlasovsky.com•90 days ago

I faced the same issue even on Sonoma. Turning off iCloud Private Relay fixed it for me.

selig.bsky.social•90 days ago

It was already off :(

mrjamesmoore.bsky.social•90 days ago

Happens on iOS for me as well.

birgines.bsky.social•90 days ago

Ohl.. thought it was something i cache that was doing that. I have exact the same issue.

So annoying!

alex.id•90 days ago

It happens occasionally when opening a new tab & searching. I can usually resolve it by closing the active tab only.

benricem.bsky.social•90 days ago

Do you have iCloud Private Relay enabled?

selig.bsky.social•90 days ago

No :(

krzyzanowskim.com•90 days ago

I experienced such quirks for years until I stopped using Safari. Some say it comes and goes with each update, but can't just go away

selig.bsky.social•90 days ago

I've never been tempted to switch away from Safari more than the last year haha

mdu4.bsky.social•90 days ago

Switch to what? Arc?

rangersms.bsky.social•90 days ago

Been on Brave for a year now

selig.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yeah I have Arc kicking around, mostly for when a site requires Chromium

krzyzanowskim.com•90 days ago

I'm Firefox team

Arc is dead in the water. that's how believing VC funded startups in their products. not specified to that one company.

penryu.bsky.social•90 days ago

When will I stop seeing Warp's paid endorsements?

krzyzanowskim.com•90 days ago

what's Warp though?

nicoritschel.com•90 days ago

I want to love Safari. But it’s terrible.

ratkins.net•90 days ago

I thought you had complained about this pre-Sequoia, or was that @simonbs.dev?

simonbs.dev•90 days ago

Yes! I've been struggling with this a lot!

dru89.bsky.social•90 days ago

I've had this issue for many versions of Safari, I feel like. Sometimes it just decides not to load anything else and I have to quit and relaunch Safari to fix it.

vrhermit.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yep! At least one a week. No pattern or behavior that I can identify.

Also seeing an issue where extensions won’t load the first time I click their icon. Clicking away and trying again usually fixes it, but not always

peterpuleio.bsky.social•90 days ago

Mostly on my Mac at work, yes

jaredhardd.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yep. Had this problem for years, though don’t recall seeing it recently.

frytech.bsky.social•90 days ago

Started happening to me in Monterey recently. In the past like 2 months or so.

I suspect it has something to do with their anti-tracking or adblocking, because at least yesterday when I disabled built-in content blocker the page (reddit) loaded w/o issues when before it refused to do so for 2 mins.

leogdion.bsky.social•90 days ago

Did you troubleshoot what extensions you have enabled?

ryanmorrison.ca•90 days ago

Yep - even with iCloud Private Relay off. I can't say when it started because it's been happening for a good while now but definitely before Sequoia. It also only really seems to happen on the Mac, I haven't seen it on iOS devices (yet, knock wood). I filed feedback to Apple about this.
