MacOS Sequioa Safari issues

I just updated my macbook Air M1 to Sequoia couple of days ago. Everything runs well except Safari.

Since then, I cannot open any websites on Safari. No error message, it only shows blank page and the loading meter keeps running but nothing shows up. I cannot even open the Mac support on apple.com. This is so frustrating and disappointing, I prefer to use safari than other browsers.

Anyone experience the same issue?

Anyone can share how to fix this issue?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0

Thanks for the explanation but I did not install any of the 3rd party softwares.

Also, I never experience any issues when I updated OS 16 & 17. Only happens after sequioia

Same problem here. Mac mini 2018 (Intel i7, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD) went from most recent Sonoma to most recent Sequoia. No problems with Sonoma; problems started immediately on using Safari with Sequoia..


Saw some posts/recommendations.


REC#1. Turn off MacOS's built-in optional firewall in the Settings menu. Did that and it worked immediately but after a shut-down and re-start, the problem reappeared with Safari (even with the Firewall off).


REC#2. Remove 3rd-party software/extension from Safari. Did that (had Adguard for Safari installed) and the problem disappeared. Will continue to run with no firewall and no 3P extensions for a short bit to see if problem reappears.
