    Why is Safari so Dumb?

    This happens to every website. I type up to "macru"... I even have a bookmark for macrumors but still the "smart search field" decides to prompt me with a random website link, in this case some stupid us5.list-manage.com.

    Safari Private Window stopped working

    I updated to macOS 11.3 a couple of days ago. Today, in Safari, I tried File | New Private Window. Nothing happened. Closed Safari. It won't open when its icon on the dock is clicked. Not until I quit Safari and start again. Machine reboot doesn't fix this. Anybody else have this issue?
