Question, Do Safari bookmarks and/or history slow down safari, It used to open almost immediately now icon bounces like 3 time then a little delay, not much at at all, no spinning wheel or anything but not as fast, I have quite a few favorites that of course load on Home Screen. Have cleaned out ones I don't use often.

I have > 100 bookmarks and haven't notice any issues. Don't think they are touched during startup, just when you invoke them.

Safari extensions are loaded at startup. I'd try removing/disabling all of them to see if that makes a difference.

Yea I only have 3 extensions, and they are all security and add blockers I am trying. Only allow one at a time. Have cut them all off and rebooted, no change. I do not allow any to launch at startup. When I open Safari I launch which I want.
