Since upgrading to the official release, some pages aren’t loading in Safari (iStockphoto, Artlist, and others). Site loading indicator just spins and spins…
I have to quit and restart the browser.

Anyone else experience this?
 
Are you able to load another page while this is happening, or is it all pages breaking?

I'm experiencing a Safari issue as well, where basically it stops loading pages entirely, then a minute or two later it "works" again. During this time Chrome works perfectly fine and everything loads in that browser, it's just Safari that breaks.
 
I’ve run into similar issues with Safari after updating to Sequoia. Some websites just don’t load — the spinner keeps going but the page never finishes loading. The only fix that works for me is quitting and restarting Safari. Chrome, on the other hand, loads everything without any problems.

I tried disabling extensions and clearing the cache, which seemed to help a little, but the issue still comes back randomly. It definitely feels like something Safari-specific, maybe some kind of security feature acting up.

Update: I realized the issue was happening specifically when I was browsing review pages on this site and then clicking through to try a game. That’s when the endless loading started. My guess is Safari is flagging or blocking something for security reasons, because the same links work perfectly fine in Chrome.
