I have emptied the browser cache, cleared the DNS cache, uninstalled AdBlocker, set alternative DNS servers, rebooted several times, installed latest updates etc.I think a connectivity problem can already be ruled out, because: Important detail: during this loading, no network activity is observable (neither in the WebKit Inspector nor via tools like Proxyman).
The loading itself is fast (I have a fast internet connection), but there seems to be a delay before it starts loading. Since a few days, the strangest thing has been happening on my Mac running macOS 14.2.1 23C71: when I open a new Safari tab and type in the address of any website (even a localhost address), it takes about 5 seconds before the page starts loading.
