@Emilien-Lambert thanks for raising this issue! 🙏🏼 Would you please provide more details/insights into what "very long loading times" really is (numbers)? I tried comparing Safari (Version 16.5.2 (17615.2.9.101.1, 17615)) and Chrome (Version 116.0.5845.96 (Official Build) (arm64)), but they seemed the same to me.

@stnguyen90 To answer your question, I don't really know how to change my Safari version. I currently have Version 16.5.2 (18615.2.9.11.10). You ask me to try Version 16.5.2 (17615.2.9.101.1, 17615). I see that 16.5.2 is common, so I guess it's pretty similar, isn't it?

Concerning google I tested with the version Version 116.0.5845.96 (Official Build) (arm64) as you asked and everything works perfectly as expected. Navigating between pages and collections is almost instantaneous - there's no feeling of loading or slowness.

As far as numbers are concerned, it's quite difficult to chromometer with precision, but I've made a video capture with the console open, so you can get an idea.

You can see that there are several moments when several collection tabs are selected at the same time. This is when the site freezes for 2 or 3 seconds, sometimes much longer. When I was modifying my database, I sometimes experienced loading times of 10s 15s.

I can reproduce this as well. It gets worse with continuous or high console usage sometimes.

Works nice on Chrome though.

@Emilien-Lambert, thanks for the video! 🙏🏼 does using a private browsing window without any extensions make any difference?

[Emilien-Lambert]

In my memories, the problem was perfectly identical without extensions and in private browsing. Anyway, I've installed version 1.4.2 and it seems to work just fine on Safari.

I'm going to continue testing in depth, but the problem seems to have been solved.
