Safari Surfig Intolerably Slow w/ Private Relay
Has anyone else experienced EXTEME slowdowns using Private Relay with Safari? When it's on, I can barely load a simple site like Google or CBC News — the progress bar hangs, and the images are extremely slow to load. I turned it off, and Safari is fine. My connection speeds are around 500Mbps, so no problem there. It almost feels like somewhere in the relay, the stream is being throttled.
Not sure when this began, but it may have been after the last Safari (not Monterey) update, installed a few days ago.
I'm on a late 2020 iMac running Monterey 12.2.1 and Safari 15.3 (17612.4.9.1.8)
iMac, OS X 10.11

2. Startup in Safe Mode. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/start-up-your-mac-in-safe-mode-mh21245/mac.
It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility.
And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and
the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.

Similar questions
- Safari hangs consistently Ever since installing Monterey, Safari hangs consistently for me. I suspected it was Private Relay, but I have completely disabled it. I have also disabled the "Hide IP from Trackers" in preferences and I'm not running any extensions. It happens multiple times per day which makes Safari completely unreliable. Sometimes it hangs when using the address bar to search while other times it just hangs when going to a website I often use (Amazon, Yahoo, Google, etc.). The only solution is to Quit Safari and relaunch. It's almost like something in Safari gets clogged because using another browser always works. It has nothing to do with the network because Firefox and Chrome always work perfectly. I've waited for a fix through multiple MacOS updates but the bug is still there. I just upgraded to Monterey 12.3 today and Safari is still hanging. This is very annoying. 2863 9
- Safari slow as a herd of turtles I often have to close safari on my Mac and start over because it seems to freeze up before it finds what I'm searching for. I can do the same search on Google Chrome or Firefox without this behaviour. What can I do to get safari working usefully? I don't think it's my ISP or the sites I'm going to. I can go to the same sites with Firefox or Chrome very quickly. But Safari gets them part way open and stalls. I have a 150 Mbps fibre connection that shows 175 Mpbs on speed test. 196 1
- Has anyone figured out how to resolve Private Relay causing pages not to load? Hello, Iʻve subscribed to iCloud+ since December and since then Private Relay works on and off. I usually have it enabled, but then all of a sudden, pages donʻt load and the progress bar in Safari is stuck... not just slow, but stuck. So... I disable Private Relay and then all is good in terms of loading, but then I donʻt have the benefit of Private Relay. Also, whenever this happens, I first go to Firefox and can load the same page, no problem. Therefore itʻs not my ISP or router causing the problem. I have Monterey 12.6.5, Mac Studio, Safari 16.4.1. I never had a VPN or website filtering software. Does anyone know whether there is a remedy? Iʻve seen other threads with recommendations to reboot, but that it doesnʻt seem to be the solution. Thanks. 1823 3

Apple's Safari browser isn't as secure as you think — new bug lets websites unveil your identity
New Safari bug lets websites 'de-anonymize' visitors
![safari blazing fast. incredibly private Safari](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/QS6LDwqwLmfpyXjoG5sRPU-320-80.jpg)
Apple 's catchphrase for Safari, the Cupertino-based tech giant's default browser, is "Blazing Fast. Incredibly Private." We can't contest the former, but the latter is questionable due to a new privacy-infiltrating bug spotted in macOS , iOS and iPadOS .
FingerprintJS , a tech startup that builds open-source fingerprinting APIs for preventing online fraud, recently published a blog post revealing that Safari 15 has a vulnerability that enables websites to track users' internet activity and unveil their identity.

- The best laptops of 2022
Safari 15 bug leaks users' online digital trail
The culprit behind Safari's vulnerability is its Javascript API called IndexedDB, an in-browser database that stores users' data to support a web page or app.
Ideally, websites should only "see" the names of databases for its own domain — not others. Unfortunately, this isn't the case with Safari 15; websites can use this exploit to track other webpages its visitors are exploring.
Let's use Google as an example since it keep tabs of account holders by storing an IndexedDB of each user. Let's say you're watching videos on YouTube . If you launch a new website that uses IndexedDB, it will be able to detect that you're visiting the video-sharing website.
"The fact that database names leak across different origins is an obvious privacy violation. It lets arbitrary websites learn what websites the user visits in different tabs or windows ," FingerprintJS said.
Adding salt to our wounds, FingerprintJS added that if you're logged into your Google account , websites can also see your unique Google user ID and photo (if you've uploaded one for your account). A malicious actor can retrieve your avatar and use an image search engine to unveil your identity.

FingerprintJS reported the issue to Apple in late November. Apple engineers worked on the security vulnerability on Jan. 16 and marked FingerprintJS' bug report as resolved. However, a fix hasn't been released yet and the flaw "continues to persist for end users," the blog post said.
To see the vulnerability in action for yourself, you can run a proof-of-concept live demo . As mentioned, the vulnerability affects Safari 15 on macOS, iOS and iPadOS 15.

During her time on the business beat, she discovered her passion for tech as she dove into articles about tech entrepreneurship, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and the latest tablets. After eight years of freelancing, dabbling in a myriad of beats, she's finally found a home at Laptop Mag that accepts her as the crypto-addicted, virtual reality-loving, investing-focused, tech-fascinated nerd she is.

Intelligent Tracking Prevention. Stop trackers.
Some browsers allow websites and data collection companies to watch you as you browse across multiple sites and create a profile of you. Intelligent Tracking Prevention uses on‑device intelligence to help prevent those trackers from learning who you are and what you’re interested in.

Private Browsing. Doesn’t remember your searches.
When you turn on Private Browsing, Safari won’t add the sites you visit to your history, remember your searches, or save any information from forms you fill out online. And advanced tracking and fingerprinting protections go even further to help prevent websites from tracking or identifying your device.

Fingerprinting Defense. Your device blends in.
Safari works to prevent advertisers and websites from using the unique combination of characteristics of your device to create a “fingerprint” to track you. To combat fingerprinting, Safari presents a simplified version of the system configuration so more devices look identical to trackers, making it harder to single yours out.

A passkey eliminates the need for a password by using a unique digital key that only works from the site or app it was created for, so you don’t have to worry about website leaks or phishing.

Safari iOS 14 Guide: Privacy Report, Built-In Translation, Compromised Password Alerts and More
Apple introduces improvements for almost all of the built-in apps with each new iteration of iOS, and iOS 14 is no exception. For Safari, Apple has added some useful new features like built-in translation and a Privacy Report that provides a rundown on all of the trackers that Safari is blocking.
![safari blazing fast. incredibly private iOS 14 safari feature](https://images.macrumors.com/t/0_b-f2ccvp8t6l3lWqjgEt1MHmE=/400x0/article-new/2020/08/iOS-14-safari-feature.jpg?lossy)
Speed and Performance Improvements
According to Apple, Safari in iOS 14 features a "blazing-fast JavaScript engine" that makes Safari up to 2x faster than Chrome on Android.
Built-In Translation
Safari in iOS 14 has a built-in translation option that can be used to translate websites to English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Brazilian Portuguese, which goes along with the new Translate app that Apple added in the update.
![safari blazing fast. incredibly private ios14translatewebsite](https://images.macrumors.com/t/YlpZU3423aM3iqXo8nMoE9mXcmQ=/400x0/article-new/2020/01/ios14translatewebsite.jpg?lossy)
Additional languages to translate to can be added in the Settings app of the iPhone, as outlined in the how to below.
- iOS 14: How to Use Safari's Webpage Translation Feature
- How to Translate Text in Apple's Translate App
Password Monitoring and Compromised Password Alerts
Safari in iOS 14 is able to monitor saved passwords, watching for passwords that have been involved in a data breach.
![safari blazing fast. incredibly private passwordmonitoringsafari](https://images.macrumors.com/t/hk68J1kCAWyHZEkAxDCjS-p7X0o=/400x0/article-new/2020/08/passwordmonitoringsafari.jpg?lossy)
You can see potential problems under the "Security Recommendations" heading in the Passwords section of the Settings app.
Privacy Report
Safari in iOS 14 (and macOS Big Sur) adds a Privacy Report feature that expands on Apple's Intelligent Tracking Prevention functionality. For the last several years, Apple has been working to prevent cross-site tracking, a feature that websites use to track your internet usage as you browse different sites for ad targeting, analytics, and more.
![safari blazing fast. incredibly private privacyreportsafari](https://images.macrumors.com/t/77XyOwPosirtoaEAFOoSpnEjayo=/400x0/article-new/2020/08/privacyreportsafari.jpg?lossy)
Any website that uses ads for monetization or an ad network for that same purpose will have these trackers on it, as will any site that uses analytics services like Google Analytics for collecting data on user behavior for site and content improvements.
Safari on iPhone and iPad lists the number of trackers on each site that you visit, the number of trackers Safari has prevented, the number of websites you've visited that have trackers, and a list of the most frequently seen trackers such as Google's DoubleClick.net.
You can get to the Privacy Report section in Safari by tapping on the icon that's two As next to each other and choosing the "Privacy Report" option. Note that you must have cross-site tracking prevention enabled for Privacy Report to work, and Privacy Report will prompt you to enable the feature if it's not turned on already.

Launching Websites From Search
If you type a URL like MacRumors.com in the pull down search interface on the iPhone, you can hit the "Go" button to open the website directly without having to tap a link in the search results.
Simpler Sign in with Apple
Apple made new tools for developers to allow them to translate existing web accounts to Sign in with Apple, which will hopefully make new options available to iPhone, iPad, and Mac users who want to convert existing logins to Sign in with Apple, which is more secure.
![safari blazing fast. incredibly private signinwithapple](https://images.macrumors.com/t/UM4N1pn7NaTIY5_2dd2lJpk3y7c=/400x0/article-new/2020/08/signinwithapple.jpg?lossy)
Tracking Permission
Apps that want to track you across apps and websites to deliver personalized ads will now need to secure user permission to do so. Allow Tracking or Ask App Not to Track are two settings designed for apps, but the feature goes hand in hand with Privacy Report to keep apps from monitoring your app usage and website browsing habits.

iPadOS 14 - Scribble Support
With an iPad running iPadOS 14, you can use the new Scribble feature with Safari to handwrite URLs, Google searches, and more, with the handwritten text then translated to typed text. For more on Scribble, make sure to check out our guide .
Use Another Browser
Not a fan of Safari? In iOS 14 you can set a different browser like Google's Chrome as the default browser that will activate when you tap links.

Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone
With Private Browsing, Safari won't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information. Private Browsing also blocks known trackers, removes tracking used to identify individual users from URLs, and adds protections against advanced fingerprinting techniques.
How to turn on Private Browsing
While Private Browsing is on, the Safari address bar appears black or dark instead of white or gray.
Open Safari on your iPhone.
![safari blazing fast. incredibly private No alt supplied for Image](https://cdsassets.apple.com/live/7WUAS350/images/inline-icons/ios15-safari-tabs-icon-gray.png)
Swipe to the Private tab group button, then tap the tab that you want to open.
![safari blazing fast. incredibly private An iPhone showing the Safari app with the Private tab group selected.](https://cdsassets.apple.com/live/7WUAS350/images/ios/ios-17-iphone-14-pro-safari-private.png)
For additional privacy, you can choose to lock Private Browsing when you're not using it. When you lock your device, your private tabs in Safari will also lock. Then, when you unlock your device again, just unlock Private Browsing with Touch ID, Face ID, or your device passcode.

Apple's Safari web browser is one of the most popular options available and ships as the default browser on Macs, iPhones, and iPads. In keeping with Apple's stated belief that privacy is a fundamental human right, Safari does a good job of protecting user privacy out-of-the-box.
Safari features many of the basic protections users have come to expect from a modern web browser, including warning you when you visit a fraudulent site and preventing cross-site trackers from keeping tabs on you. Safari can also hide your IP address from known trackers, eliminating one of the most common methods advertisers use to collect information and build a profile around your activity.
In addition to the default options, there are additional steps you can take to protect your privacy in Safari even more. While there certainly are extreme measures you can take, such as blocking all cookies, the methods outlined in this article are designed to have a minimal impact on your day-to-day browsing and maintain as much functionality as possible.
Turn On Private Relay
Apple introduced a beta of Private Relay in iOS 15 and macOS Monterey (via Apple ). The idea behind Private Relay is to encrypt your internet traffic so that no one, including Apple, can see what websites you visit.
Again, this feature is still in beta as of the time of writing, so it may not always work correctly, or it may cause significant performance issues. If you decide to try it, however, it can provide a much greater degree of control over your privacy settings.
On the Mac, press the Command and Spacebar keys and type "System Preferences." In System Preferences, select "Apple ID" in the upper right corner, then check the box for "Private Relay." Once it's activated, click the "Options" button. Private Relay hides your IP address, but it gives you the option of allowing websites to know your general location or region — useful for weather, shopping, travel, and more.
If you would prefer that websites not even be able to see that much, change the option to "Use country and time zone." This will ensure you get some useful location-based information, but without websites knowing your general location or area.
On iOS/iPadOS, tap "Settings," select your name at the top of the screen, and choose "iCloud." Select "Private Relay (Beta)," and toggle the feature on. To change the location setting, select "IP address Location."
Install Third-Party Privacy Extensions
Another way to significantly improve the privacy Safari offers is to install third-party privacy extensions. Two such extensions for the Mac are DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials and AdGuard for Safari, both of which are free. DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials are not available on iOS, but AdGuard is.
To install the extensions on the Mac, press the Command and Spacebar key, and type in "App Store." Once the App Store is open, use the search field in the upper left corner to search for "DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials" or "AdGuard for Safari." Click the "Install" button to install the extension.
Once the extensions are installed, switch to Safari, click the Safari menu in the upper left and select "Preferences." Go to the "Extensions" tab and click the box next to each of the extensions you just installed.
It's worth noting there will be multiple extensions listed for both AdGuard and DuckDuckGo — eight and two, respectively. Apple limits how many filters an extension can include. As a result, since AdGuard has tens of thousands of such filters, the only way to include them all is to have multiple extensions (via AdGuard's Andrey Meshkov ).
It's also worth noting that activating AdGuard and DuckDuckGo will display a warning that the extensions can read and alter every webpage you visit, as well as see your browsing history. This is completely normal, and doesn't mean the extensions are spying on you. Both extensions help block trackers and ads, and protect your privacy. In order to do that, they need to be able to see the contents of the website you're visiting and alter or block elements accordingly.
To use AdGuard with iOS/iPadOS, open the App Store, search for "AdGuard," and click the "Install" button. Open the "Settings" app, scroll down and choose Safari. Select Extensions and activate all of the AdGuard extensions.
Use Private Browsing Mode
In situations that require even more privacy, such as those times you want to leave no trace of your browsing activity, Safari's Private Browsing mode provides additional protection.
According to Apple , when using Private Browsing your history isn't saved, cookies aren't stored, and the websites you visit are not shared across other devices logged in to your iCloud account. Private Browsing will also not save any Autofill information.
To activate Private Browsing on your Mac, go to the "File" menu and select "New Private Window."
On iOS, tap the Tabs button and select the "Tabs" popup menu at the bottom of the screen. Choose "Private" to open a new Private Browsing window.
On iPadOS, touch and hold the Tabs button, and then select "New Private Tab."
Safari already goes a long way towards protecting your privacy online. Using any, or all, of the above methods will protect your privacy even more, and make it much more difficult for websites and advertisers to track you.

Safari generally provides the fastest and most efficient browsing experience for Mac users. Apple puts a lot of work into optimizing the browser's performance and energy consumption specifically for Apple hardware.
Unfortunately, this doesn't always hold up over time. Safari can become slow, bloated, and unresponsive like any other browser. Let's take a look at how to speed up Safari on your Mac in case this happens to you.
1. Update and Restart Your Mac
Restarting your computer fixes many of life's problems, including a slow browser. It should always be your first troubleshooting step for such issues. Open the Apple menu and select Restart to do so.
Once your Mac boots up, it's also worth installing any outstanding app updates , which you can find by going to App Store > Updates .
2. Close Unneeded Tabs
How many tabs do you have open right now? And how many of those tabs do you really need? Safari keeps many of your tabs active in the background, even if you're not using them. One of the easiest ways to speed up Safari on your Mac is by simply closing tabs.
If you're particularly protective of your browser session, try an extension like Tab Suspender . This allows you to suspend your open tabs to save processing power.
3. Clear the Cache and Temporary Files
Like almost all browsers, Safari keeps a cache of data from all the websites you visit. This takes up disk space, which can contribute to performance problems. It's always a good idea to blow away Safari's cobwebs once in a while by emptying the cache, particularly if you need to improve the browser's performance.
To clear your Safari cache:
- Launch Safari and click Safari > Preferences in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
- Click on the Advanced tab, then check Show Develop menu in menu bar at the bottom of the window.
- Close the Preferences window and click Develop > Empty Caches in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
4. Disable Thirsty Extensions
Safari has some excellent extensions available to install, but sometimes they do more harm than good by slowing everything down. This is particularly true for extensions that directly affect the browsing experience. A good example is TamperMonkey ($1.99), which changes how websites appear and behave with user scripts.
To isolate extension-related slowdown, try disabling all your extensions under Safari > Preferences > Extensions . To disable an extension, uncheck the box next to its name.
You can then try re-enabling extensions one by one to find the culprit.
Disabling extensions in this manner doesn't remove them. You'll need to click the Uninstall button in each entry on the Extensions tab to completely remove Safari extensions .
5. Restrict Plug-Ins and Website Access
Apple has been working to eliminate plug-ins from Safari, but they might still cause your browser to slow down on rare occasions. This is most likely if you're running an older version of Safari.
It's best to ensure plug-ins ask you before Safari starts running them. The same goes for allowing access to your Mac's camera, microphone, screen sharing, and other security settings.
Go to Safari > Preferences > Websites to see which websites have requested access to your Mac. Work through each item in the sidebar and disable access for any websites that don't need it. We particularly recommend disabling auto-play.
In older versions of Safari, you should also go to Safari > Preferences > Security > Plug-In Settings . Make sure plug-ins are set to Ask before they start running. Disable any you don't need by unchecking them. These settings aren't available in newer versions of Safari.
6. Upgrade macOS
Yearly macOS upgrades include new versions of Safari. If you don't install the latest version of macOS, you won't have the latest version of Safari. New versions of Safari mean better compatibility with the latest web technologies.
Apple's tweaking under the hood often results in faster rendering times and a speedier browser experience overall.
There's also something to be said for upgrading your operating system since many underlying issues with your Mac get patched up along the way.
To update macOS, open the Apple menu and go to System Preferences > Software Update .
7. Identify Dodgy Websites and Crashed Tabs
Safari can slow to a crawl as a result of a single problematic website. Websites can crash for all sorts of reasons, including too many scripts, auto-playing advertisements, rogue extensions, and malfunctioning embeds. Occasionally, this can bring your whole Mac to a grinding halt.
Sometimes these pages consume more than their fair share of resources; other times they crash entirely and leave you with the spinning pinwheel of death. To rectify the situation:
- Launch Activity Monitor under Applications > Utilities .
- On the CPU tab, click on the Process Name column to arrange processes by name and find Safari .
- Now look at the % CPU column and systematically close your Safari tabs to see which ones have the biggest impact on your CPU usage.
8. Make Sure You Have Enough Free Space
A lack of free space on your disk can have devastating consequences for your Mac's overall performance. A Mac with limited free space is more likely to freeze, stutter, and crash. This can cause your whole system to run slowly, but Safari is often one of the first apps to buckle as individual resource-intensive tabs become unresponsive.
For best results, maintain a healthy buffer of 10GB or more of free space. Follow our tips for freeing up space on your Mac if you run out of options.
9. Fix Other macOS Performance Problems
Boosting overall system performance also speeds up Safari on your Mac. This is because there are fewer resources tied up in non-critical tasks, so more of them are available for Safari.
Take a look at these common mistakes that might slow down your Mac . They include having too many apps running in the background or starting up at login, which you can change by going to System Preferences > Users > Login Items .
10. Check for Network Connection Problems
If your internet connection is slow, Safari will also feel slow. To isolate connection problems, find out how to test your internet connection speed to see if that's to blame.
You might need to change your DNS settings to fix it, which you can do by going to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS . Use Google's Namebench to find the fastest DNS settings for your network.
Keep a Backup Browser Installed Just in Case
Although you can follow all the tips above to speed up Safari on your Mac, it's also worth keeping a backup browser installed as well. These are useful to have for stubborn websites that aren't optimized for Safari or in case you need to use a browser extension that's only available on one browser.

Private Relay is essentially a VPN When iCloud Private Relay is on, the traffic leaving your iPhone is encrypted and sent through two separate internet relays. This prevents websites from seeing your IP address and exact location while preventing network providers from collecting your browsing activity in Safari.
Actually doing a spot check right now, they both use about 300MB to show Google News, with very little difference. Certainly though, because so much of Safari is accelerated, Safari does tend to go easier on resources and uses less energy than Chrome. It's certainly enough to be noticeable.
