Slow Response Switching in/out of Safari on Mac

Anyone else noticed a significant delay when Cmd-Tab switching in or out of Safari to other open apps? Seems only to happen with Safari, like there’s a whole lot of thinking/consideration/processing going on. Sort of like it’s hesitating before finally doing it. Then I also notice that the

Re: Slow Response Switching in/out of Safari on Mac

Michael, I do, and I notice improvement if I remove the activity. Also notice that the subsequent app will announce when no activity is being used. So that is one factor. Another thing I notice, is that if I let the Safari window and web site settle down for a couple minutes, the switching is

Re: Slow Response Switching in/out of Safari on Mac

Hi, I don't notice this and I have an activity set while in Safari. Two things that may be different though for me. I only have the activity set when on Amazon, not for Safari in general, and I may have a bit more powerful machine. I'm using a MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM. Later... Tim

Re: Slow Response Switching in/out of Safari on Mac

Now this might have nothing to do with it as I don’t use Safari on my Mac, I find it much easier on the iPhone. But would clearing history and Cookies make any difference? I should try and learn Safari on the Mac but I really do find it confusing. > On 30/12/2019, at 09:35, Dave Carlson

Re: Trillion question.

Yeah I heard about this issue. A friend of mine updated to the latest version of Trillian and he can't interact with the list of contacts properly. That's why I haven't updated. I'm still on version 6.1.1 (7). My suggestion is if you have an older version somewhere, I would downgrade the app to
