    Safari on Mac slow. Any ideas?

    Hi Mac Users :

    Sometimes, the Safari browser is just dead slow. Loading up GFY on Chrome is instant, but takes 10 seconds on Safari to load, and sometimes does not even load at all even after resetting it. Any suggestions?

          Obviously a troll thread. Apple products don't have such problems.

              No, honestly not a troll thread. Just confused as to why it is suddenly so slow. My next step would be to delete all of the cookies and associated Safari data would want to do that only as a last step.

                  On a serious note, I have read that the current version of Safari has issues such as this and the new upcoming version is supposed to address all of the issues. I don't have experience with it myself, but you do not seem to be the only one with these issues. Most of the people that I know with a Mac seem to use Chrome, which is turning into a piece of shit also.

                      It's all a lie. Apple software is perfect!
                      If it was windows the computer would randomly catch fire!

                          might be corrupt network prefs:

                          back it up:
                          > cd /Library/Preferences && tar zcvf $HOME/sysConfigBackup.tgz ./SystemConfiguration

                          trash it:
                          > sudo rm -rf /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

                          restart

                              Did you update Safari? I got the update yesterday. I've never had an issue (multiple Macs), but I've heard of other people experiencing what you describe.

                                  When I had that issue it was flash causing it. For some reason it worked fine it chrome/FF but not in safari.

                                      Yes got the upgrade when it came out. No difference.

                                                  When Safari is slow I use Chrome, when that starts fucking up, I use Firefox. But the Flash plugin seems to always crash on Chrome and Firefox. :-/

                                                                              I just got a new laptop a few months ago. I'm not installing Flash this time around. OMG the web is awesome without flash. Best decision ever...

                                                                                  Sometimes, the Safari browser is just dead slow. Loading up GFY on Chrome is instant, but takes 10 seconds on Safari to load, and sometimes does not even load at all even after resetting it. Any suggestions?
