Go back to my question Applications and Services / Safari User profile for user: rivermutt rivermutt Author User level: Level 1 8 points Constant webpage reloading on Safari, Chrome and Opera but not Firefox using Blackboard Learn

Approximately two weeks ago, whenever I access the campus Blackboard Learning Management System using Safari, Chrome or Opera using my MacBook Pro running Mojave (all updates installed) the webpage keeps reloading and I can't access the site. I've run every malware and virus scan I can think of, have deleted caches, histories, cookies; played with the content and popup blockers as well as the firewall. I have no idea what's going on. The video below shows what's happening in Safari and it's the same for every browser but Firefox.

I've had our campus tech teams working on this and they have no idea why this only happens on the Blackboard site, all pop-ups have been disabled.

I've done some research and discovered there are problems with constantly reloading pages on Chromium based browsers, but I'm lost. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

• Safari often not loading pages I'm running Safari 15.5 on an MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) and am routinely finding pages take a substantial amount of time time to load, or something not at all. Some sites I frequently visit are not affected, but a lot are. Yet if I visit those same pages in Chrome, Brave or Firefox they load quickly and without problems. What is Safari doing that is killing my browsing experience? 2096 1

Using AVG Cleaner may have compromised the OS. You may need to do a reinstall. Uninstall the application using the Developer's uninstall instructions. The same applies toDr Anti-virus.

Eric, Thanks for your reply. I've run Safari in Safe Mode and Chrome in Incognito mode and reloading still occurs. After setting up a different admin account on my machine, the reloading still occurs.
