Your Safari browser is sluggish? Is it taking too much time to load a site page? Your extensions might be the culprit. Follow the instructions on this page to remove Safari extensions on your Mac. Your Safari should load sites faster after you uninstall the unused extensions.

Extensions are like additional tools that can improve the function of your browsers. They have different types as well as functions like blocking unwanted sites and ads, changing your Safari themes, creating a to-do list, and many more. They are small and most of them are free.

Unfortunately, installing too many extensions on your Safari can slow down your browser’s performance. The page load becomes slow and sometimes, it takes too much time to just lunch Safari. It’s because Safari also needs to load the extensions. Not to mentions that there are many problems caused by old and outdated extensions.
