I've been disappointed with the performance of Safari lately. I have no idea whether it's related to the recent update or not, but I encountered two different websites not functioning properly on Safari yesterday.
One was Discogs, a website for buying and selling CDs and vinyl records. I've used it many times before on Safari, albeit my order history shows I hadn't placed an order since early this year. While I was attempting to order some CDs from Discogs yesterday, I kept clicking on "Checkout Now" after adding items to my cart only to find the "Checkout" page consisted of nothing but my shipping and billing address. I was so confused for a while, not knowing how to progress further with an order--I could've sworn there used to be "Pay with PayPal" or "Pay with Credit Card" buttons on this page.
Sure enough, I loaded the page in Chrome, and there were the buttons, beneath my address. For whatever reason, the buttons that allow you to actually complete a purchase do not load on Safari. No ad-blocker or VPN active at the time either. I tried re-launching Safari, but no, Discogs' checkout page is just broken.
Likewise, I encountered a similar issue with Apos Audio. A few days ago, I placed an order on that site with Safari, without issue. Yesterday I went to check the order status, and when I attempted to do so, the website crashed with a "something went wrong" message. I re-launched Safari and re-loaded the order status page, but nope, crashed again. I loaded the page on Chrome, no issues whatsoever.
I don't prefer Chrome. I would rather use Safari. But two websites in one day that just straight-up don't work on Safari, but work just fine on Chrome is a lot. Especially since these are sites I've used before without issue and now they have issues for some reason.
Is there a way to report broken websites on Safari? Anyone have an idea what might be causing certain elements of the page to not display?
