Webpages Unclickable - Safari 18.0 - Mac OS Sonoma

[Madonepro]

When loading webpages I am often getting a situation, where I am unable to click a link within the page, and often have to refresh the page, or empty caches.
I'm wondering if this is an Apple Silicon thing, as I didn't have this issue with my 2020 MBP i7, but am having it with my M3 Pro MBP.

I’m running Sonoma on an M2 Pro Mac Mini. Web pages often won’t load in Duck Duck Go and, before that, I was using Safari with similar problems. Eventually I can get them to load but it is rather irritating to have to deal with it when it happens.

Booting up, the Apple bluetooth mouse can take several minutes to be recognised. I’m not really that impressed with the non-numeric Apple keyboard, nor with the Apple mouse.

Sonoma leaves me somewhat underwhelmed overall, so far, and often I seem to ‘press' something that results in an action I have unwittingly initiated. Computer operating systems seem to be getting further and further away from Einstein’s maxim: keep things simple but no simpler. Maybe we need a basic-level OS set-up and a ‘bells and whistles’ version as standard selectable options?
