Why can’t I change Safari homepage?
Changing the homepage on Safari may seem like a simple task, however, there may be several factors that prevent you from being able to change the homepage.
Firstly, it is possible that there may be adware or malware installed on your device that is causing the issue. In this case, it is important to run a full scan on your device using reliable antivirus software to remove any potentially harmful programs.
Secondly, your device may be restricted by a policy set by your organization or administrator. This may prevent you from changing the homepage or other browser settings, in order to comply with certain policies or guidelines.
