Re: Slowfari
Safari used to perform reasonably well for me, but somewhere during the Big Sur point updates it started slowing down. On Monterey Safari can take 5-10 seconds (or more) to launch, and generally feels laggy in use. The usual suspects (cache/history/cookies, removing extensions) haven't made any difference.
MS Office app launch times have also gotten markedly longer over the same time frame, but those run fine (or at least, as well as they ever did) once they drag themselves off the ground.
What's odd is that most other first- and third-party apps I use regularly on the same machine (e.g. Firefox, Reaper & other music prod software, various image editors, etc.) have not exhibited any slowdown.
BitDefender solves the password sync issue admirably.
2015 Retina MBP, i7, 16GB RAM, SSD. Admittedly not Tim Apple's latest & greatest, but it runs most things just fine.
