Thank you for jogging my memory. I’ve not had problems with Safari to date but 
then I rarely ever have more than 5-6 tabs in play. 

I’ve found that Siri on both Macs needed to have the audio sampling frequency 
increased before it was able to understand my voice with good accuracy. You can 
change the frequency with the Audio Midi Setup app found in the Utilities 
folder - 44MHz seems to work nicely for me. Also for the Mac mini the mic in 
the very cheap webcam I’ve used wasn’t sensitive enough to get good accuracy. I 
chose a medium priced Logitech model which works well from 10-12 feet without 
having to shout at the mic.

The main problem with Siri is finding out the best way to frame a question. You 
can use Siri for many things by trial and error but I’ve found that by asking a 
question in the form “can you help me on ….” has often got Siri to set out the 
scope of assistance it can provide.
