Whenever I click a link in the Mail app, the link wouldn't work using Safari but would work on Edge.
On 12.2.1. Is anything wrong with this?

Mail link not working in Safari

I've had this problem with some, but NOT ALL, links. It has to do with Private Relay. Turn that off, and these same links work fine for me in Safari. I use Firefox for those links that won't open in Safari, and I notify the websites to fix it.
Thanks. After turning it off and restarting Safari, it works now. Sucks that I can't be using Private Relay together with it.
There is a "partial workaround". Safari can be set to hide your IP from either Trackers, or Tracker and Websites. If you have it hide your IP from "Trackers" only, the broken websites will load properly. Of course, that doesn't give you protection against rogue websites. So I'm not certain whether it's good to use this or not. Unfortunately, I don't see how to allow only certain websites to be blocked.
I have been sporadically experiencing the same failure to open links in Safari. Irritating enough that I have switched the default browser as I research it online. Surprisingly there are not all that many complaints.
I finally found "Private Relay" after an additional search (Sys Preferences -> iCloud/AppleID - Private Relay) but it was not enabled. I have been toggling on and off all the Security and Privacy settings in Safari but have not seen any change. Restarted the MBPro M1 16" yesterday but have not restarted it or Safari since making the changes. Still chasing the gremlin.... (naw - I have NOTHING better to be doing !!)
