macOS 15.7 & Safari 26 = laggy garbage

[blufrog]

So I guess they don't plan fixing it for MacOS 15, rather relying folks updating to MacOS 26 or iOS 26 through lapse of concentration of the default check boxes. The invasive push of notifications alone in iOS now occurs for me multiple times per week. As an Apple user since 2006, I cannot recall such an aggressive push to update as we're seeing now.

It has something to do with the inclusion of age verification in some markets, I think. I have ignored it on my iDevices and Mac. I won't "upgrade" until this age verification dies. The only way to deal with it is to not update. They can't go back in time and add this crap to older installs!!!

I'm running Mini with M4 Pro and 48 GB RAM. I did have 1200 tabs open (I since closed them all and cleared all the caches, etc.).

Was that done as a test…or your general usage..😱

I have max 3 tabs open usually 😂

I use Chrome primarily and it's smooth as butter.

Only thing I use Safari for is to watch streaming services since it allows HD/4K streaming and Chrome has issues with HDCP.
