>Safari has had a bug when opening a new tab and typing "search term" too quickly, it opens URL http://search%20term http://search%20term instead of doing a Google search. 8 years ago I've opened a bug for that which was closed as a duplicate, and just recently experienced this bug again. While webkit might have some much needed improvements in the past few years, it is still the behind Blink and Gecko. Safari, the browser itself. Has been awful for the past 10 years. At least on Desktop. And some of these are not issue with Webkit because other webkit browser does it better. The Address bar is far the worst compared to Chrome ( OmniBar ) and Firefox ( I believe it used to be call Awesomebar ). I have experience the same bug you mentioned and I believe I filed it way earlier. Opening Bookmarks with too many items continue to pause and jank for 11 years now. Tab Overview continue to re-render all the tabs. Causing Paging and Kernel_Task CPU spike. My Kernel_Task is currently 80TB at 240 days uptime. That is 333GB of write per day. Simply killing the SSD. And no Tab Sleeping. Apple just doesn't give a fuck any more about their software.

My gripe is that iCloud Tabs haven’t worked right for years. Everything else that syncs in Safari works perfectly fine: tab groups, bookmarks, reading list. But iCloud Tabs, the feature that shows what you have open on other devices, is always either empty or showing things I had open literally months ago.

  It works for me. But randomly not work. And I have seen that iCloud Tabs issue before. I think it was logging out and logging back in would fix it. But this will cause another issue but I cant remember what it was. Basically the whole thing with Sync is very fickle. On another note, Safari somehow doesn't work well when you have over 128 Tabs.
