I don't see this being an Apple issue when it worked perfectly fine on Safari prior to 5.8.4.

  @d0ugmac1 cloud version of controller works just fine in Safari. So this is something that affects only local versions of Omada controller. Mine is Docker, not sure if people have same issue with OC200 controller.

Thanks for info.  I'm sure Safari has had updates since 5.8.4 was released, so it *could* be Apple..but the Cloud piece just above does beg the question about what's different in the backend between 'released' code versus the multi-tenant code that runs in the cloud that causes Safari to grind.

and I thought it was just me......

 

Downloaded other browsers to find them working just fine. Have Firefox just for the controller until (hopefully) a fix is released.

  @Weza just tried this out, it's also very sluggish.

Switching to Chrome (sigh).

Same issue here with OC200 (5.11.0) controller.

 

Mac Book Air M1 / 16 GB

Venture 13.4.1 (c)

 

Under Safari every click makes the process spin to 100% and hangs there till something is finished.

 

Under Chrome this isn't even noticeable.

 

This is really odd behavior in Safari that I cannot remember happening before. I do tend to switch platforms (Microsoft/Apple) and I've been accessing the OC200 web interface over Windows/Chrome these last couple of months, so I might have missed the exact moment when someone screwed up something.

It began with 5.8.4.  Sad to hear that it's still a problem in 5.11.x, though not surprised considering TP-Link didn't seem to care that much about it based on the response I got from support.

I've checked the Javascript console in Safari. It looks like it launches a Webservice for the continuous communication between the controller and the browser using an old STOMP JS.

 

I noticed when looking at the device for instance list that the UI doesn't accept input, then refreshes and accepts input for a second or so.

 

Then I found this error popping up:

 

Unhandled Promise Rejection: Error: Navigation cancelled from "/" to "/empty" with a new navigation.

 

Could it be that Safari is more strict/secure than Chrome and other browsers? Then hopefully the bug will pop up in other browsers forcing TP-Link to fix the issue.

I confirm the notable slowness with Safari, now with 5.12.7
The Omada controller has always been 2 notches below other controllers when it comes to fluidity.
The solution of using another browser is certainly not a solution.

  @SingletrackMind Hi! I found a solutions for this. Create a self-sign certificate for the Omada controller. Use this link for help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH4gXcvkmOY&t=1332s. Upload the certificate and the private key to the controller and to you MAC . Problem no longer here for me.
