[QUOTE="DEyncourt, post: 1927161, member: 416097"] Not related to your browser downloading problem, but might I suggest that you should edit your last post to remove your external drive names and only refer to them generically (like "My TimeMachine external drive is 5 TB"). I would not do this but having those drive names could enable a hostile abuser points of entry. Just remember: sometimes hackers will try things just because they CAN. NO extensions for your browsers? At all? You are more tolerant of ads than me. Just to line up possible differences, I have: 2021 16" MacBook Pro 18,2 M1Max with a 2 TB SSD which has 1.15 TB free, 64 GB RAM (yes, I have planned on being able to use this machine for many years) macOS 13.2 (22D49) Safari 16.3 (18614.4.6.1.5) Firefox 109.0.1 I believe all software versions are the latest available. I use Firefox to do most of my web browsing. I have locked down Firefox to run WITHOUT JavaScript at all. Of course a lot of stuff on the web requires JavaScript, so for such I use Safari. I often will open an new (to me) site with Firefox, then if that site is blank there I will drop that site onto Safari. As I mentioned before: I can download with both Firefox and Safari without locking up during downloads. [/QUOTE]
