Safari not loading pages, other browsers doing fine I have an issue many seem to have: Safari 7.0.5 (and now 7.0.6) hangs when loading web pages whereas other browsers (Chrome, Firefox) work just fine. I've ran my tests on WiFi with two different routers as well as through iPhone tethering.

Here are the steps I have taken so far but the problem persists:


re-installed my MacBook Air completely with the latest image from the App Store
Reset Safari
Disabled extensions
Unchecked "Warn when visiting fraudulent website"
Unchecked "Stop plug-ins to save power"
In the Develop menu, checked "Disable caches"
In WiFi settings, disabled IPv6
Changed DNS to OpenDNS
Deleted all Safari plist, caches, favicons cache, etc.
Turned off Safari in iCloud settings
Fixed permissions, rebooted
Disabled the prefetch setting from terminal
Emptied all my logs, launched Safari and tried to open this url: https://pragprog.com/login . Here is the (anonymised) result:

I also deleted all the passwords in my keychain, deleted all the bookmarks and emptied the reading list, just in case there was some corruption there. Still no success. I tried to log in with the guest account as well but the problem is the same.
By verifying the issue in the Guest user you have identified the issue resides in a system shared resource.
Attempt to reproduce the issue in Safe Mode. If the issue is not reproducible, reboot normally and check if the issues persist. If it does I would encourage you to backup your system and navigate over to the local Library located at /Library. From here you can start troubleshooting by removing files from locations such as:


./StartupItems
./LaunchAgents
./LaunchDaemons
./Internet Plug-ins


Reboot your system and attempt to reproduce after each change. If all else fails you may be looking at an erase and install of your OS and selective migrating your data back on to the drive to avoid migrating the issue over.

Hope this helps!
