The default homepage of Safari is your browser’s home page or your personal website. You can set up different pages as your homepage in Safari. However, if you encounter a Safari error that says “Cannot Parse Response” then you might have a problem with the page that you are trying to visit. This error can occur when you try to visit certain websites or when you try to download a specific file from the internet.
The problem can be caused by an issue with your computer, or it can be caused by a virus or malware on your computer. Sometimes, problems with the internet connection of your computer can prevent you from accessing certain websites properly. To fix this error, you need to try a few solutions.
The Safari Cannot Parse Response Error usually happens when users want to access a website or open their file from the browser. The error occurs because the web requests made by websites cannot be interpreted properly by Safari, so it raises the error.
