On Safari MacBook Pro 2021 (macOS version 12.3), when I open a new tab and I start typing something in the address bar and then I press return, Google appears and then disappears automatically; bringing me back to the new empty tab. This sometimes happens a lot, sometimes happens occasionally, it is like random. It is annoying.

Even if it does not happen, and I am in Google page, when I click on any link on Google, Safari brings me back to the initial Google page and not to the website that I am supposed to go to after my click.

I do not know what is the problem here and how to fix it.

I cleared the history but the same issue is still present.

  • Are you hitting the touchbar without realising it?

  • I am using Macbook Pro 2021 without a touchbar. I think it is a Safari bug as I did not notice this on Chrome until now.

    Happens to me quite often. Noticed it on both MacBook Pro 2022 14/16".

  • If you switch to a different search engine like duck duck go, does the issue persist?

There is an ongoing problem with iCloud. I've personally reported it already and I think that everyone who experiences this problem should also.

Current workaround is to disable safari sync in iCloud. I've not had problems since, but you'll loose the sync capability.

The same happens to me so I read this link

Safari keeps closing newly opened tabs, re-opening the tabs that I just closed or navigates back when using with Tab Group

My best idea is this relates to the new Tab Groups feature. Rather than open a support case with apple for support, I reported it (via this form https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html).

    There’s a hunch here that might even be right. Hopefully someone that has this can open a support case and provide an answer. I’m sure this is affecting some people, but no where in the question is a reproducible set of steps. Hard to tell if operator error, people don’t understand the feature or it’s a proper bug @Alper worse, if it’s a bug, it might depend on search engine / settings and what that returns.
