One boring day I decided to activate the debug menu:
$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1

Soo, I was able to enable overlay with fancy graphs (in menu Debug > Show Resource Usage Overlay):

Safari Resource Usage Overlay

But if I disable overlay in menu and close Safari − overlay will appear again on next browser startup.

Yep, even I disable debug menu in terminal: $ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 0

Maybe smb know how to disable both – Debug menu AND Resource Usage Overlay?

When opening the Google page in Safari, a black screen appears, and the site doesn’t load. Similarly, when trying to search useing the bar, it doesn’t work, and a black screen shows up. Has anyone faced this issue, and what is the solution?

So I restarted my mac while I had one of the tab groups open, and when Safari automatically opened again, it opened to the tab group but the links were now under my standard tabs, so I lost my standard tabs. Under "last closed" it only showed the tab group links and "open window of the last session" didn't work either. Is there any other way to recover the tabs?

I'm trying to switch to Safari from Google Chrome as my browser of choice, but one thing that I can't seem to find is the equivalent of "Go Incognito" extension. In Chrome, when you click on it, it will open the current tab in an incognito window, and removes it from your browsing history. Is there a similar function baked in to Safari or an Extension that anyone knows about that has similar functionality?

Hey all, like some of you i've come to the realization that i keep hoarding tabs on.
I know Chrome and other browsers have helpful extensions like xTab, but i'd really like to keep to Safari.

Anyone know a helpful extensions which limits the number of tabs? Maybe to something around 20-50?
Of course, functions like customizable limit and ways of prioritising tabs to be closed would be great.

I already know about the 'close tabs after x amount of time' feature, but i'd prefer a simple hard limit on tab count.
Tab Limit by Dan Browne seems to have been a nice tool, but it's not available anymore...

Hi, quick question – has anyone experienced problems with the Safari browser where it loads webpages very slowly? I’m currently using Safari 18.1.1 but in Chrome or other browsers, it works like a charm. Network traffic at screen, currently I'm facing this issues on Sequoia only.

Private relay is off, didn't helped.

I already have this deselected under safari preferences but I am still getting pop ups from websites to ask for notification permissions. Furthermore, some of the same websites keep asking me despite me having already selected no many times already.

All safari folders brought back to months ago

For information, in the past I already once lost all my folders that I kept open for remembrance or because I might have needed it in the future, and it all disappeared expect on folder which had no particular use or anything of relevance,

but this is different. One moment my folders are all fine, then I pose down my phone and get back to it after an hour or so. All my folders are gone expect one which I think “aw again ?” But then I open my private page, in which I had other folders and I see them all (or so I thought) which I am relived because half of the folders on my safari are safe. Then I take a moment and read them for what I searched, and I realise they are folds I kept open months ago and a lot of them I long trashed

What the hell ? Is there a way to get back my new folders ?

Does anyone have issues like this? It happened when I resized the window

is it that good? i mean, can some one explain this?

I have several google accounts between various business ventures, personal email, spam email, and internal emails and companies that I contract with. The issue I run into is that on Safari it doesn't automatically go to the "Default" account that I selected. This is really annoying and was curious if anyone had this problem and found a fix!?

I've already tried the unchecking "Disable cross-origin restrictions." Not sure how to make this actually go away. It pops up on Reddit and other websites constantly. Please help.

Any time I add a new bookmark, or delete some of the existing default ones (apple, yahoo, bing...), once I quit the app and then open it again all of the bookmarks are back to the default ones.
I encounter this problem only on Safari on my Mac. On the phone and iPad it works fine.

Why does Safari save the state of web apps? Like, when you close the app and reopen it, you’re right back on the same page. That might be fine for some websites, but it’s super annoying for things like Netflix, ChatGPT, etc. Is there a way to turn this off?

Anyone else think it’s weird how we can’t reorder our profiles in safari?

A website portal I commonly frequent has a bunch of links that work with dynamic variables such as '%D4-host%/path/example'. The '%D4-host%' part is supposed to get replaced with the current site's hostname for the link to work. I have no issues with these links on Chrome, Firefox or any other browser. This is strictly a Safari issue.

The error states that the page could not be reached, clearly reading '%D4-host%' as a string and not a dynamic variable.

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? Is there a Safari setting that could be causing this? I'm on Safari 18.1, MacBook Air, macOS Sequoia 15.1
