Catalina 10.15.1 Safari issues

I have two Macs. My iMac uses a Gigabit ethernet connection and my MacBook Pro a 5Ghz Wifi network. Both work ok.
I don't use an antivirus and I use Better blocker for ad blocking.
For me since Catalina install iCloud tabs in Safari are un clickable 2 minutes after I open Safari. f I delete cache it will fix the problem if I restart Safari, but the problem will return after the next time I close and reopen Safari.
I'm beginning to be tired of Catalina Buggy software. I have bugs and glitches almost everywhere.

Thanks to everyone who took part in this thread. You've kept me from having a complete nervous breakdown. I have a 27" late 2015 iMac. After I installed Catalina everything internet related slowed down. I installed the latest Catlina update and everything internet related completely stopped working. I was beginning to think it was my computer, but when I ran Windows 10 via Parallels I could access the internet on the Windows side so I knew it wasn't the computer. I've spent a ton of hours trying to find the cure without success. I was almost to the point of going back to Mohave. Then it dawned on me that I should check MacRumors. As soon as I read this thread I clicked on the Intego icon and turned off NetBarrier. Everything started working. I didn't even have to reboot. Thanks a ton guys. I suppose the moral of the story is to always checkout the wisdom at MacRumors.
Not sorted completely "barneyman" see my reply from Intego a few minutes ago and read my original post as I have added the progress I have had by chatting with Intego
Dear Intego Customer,
As a first step after 10.15.1 update issue, our development team worked to circumscribe the network connections slowdowns. They achieved this by temporarily disabling the application rules, which is the component in conflict with 10.15.1.
That's why the right pane of Applications tab is disabled
As you may notice NetBarrier firewall is still active.
We sincerely apologize for this situation, and thank you for your patience while we work to restore full protection.
Sincerely,
The Intego European Support Team.
Aside from this Intego software thing, is macOS 10.15.1 better than 10.15? Should I install the update? Thank you.
No issues with the update for me (on multiple Macs).
I've never installed anti-virus or disk utilities that purport to "make things run better" — because they're almost always the cause of the very type of problems they claim to solve. This is likely why I never have problems with OS updates (including Catalina, which went smooth as silk for me).

Try w/o Trend Micro and expect to see update. Same goes for anything 3rd party at that level.
I was having the same problems with Trend Micro. Safari and Chrome were unusable and my whole computer seemed sluggish. After deleting Trend Micro, everything is working as it should. I had a lengthy conversation with their support team and they had me reinstall Trend Micro but the problems came back. They seemed unaware of any problems with 10.15.1. They offered to remotely access my computer but I declined. Hopefully more people complain and they fix the problem with an update soon.
This morning's download of Intego NetBarrier 10.8.4 did NOT resolve the issue. Safari slowly renders any URL after 2 minutes. Turning the NetBarrier OFF clears the issue. Intego stated that the release 10.9.9 will solve it.. Haven't seen that release yet...Took me one day tinkering around and re-installing Catalina 10.15.1 etc... before finding out that NetBarrier was the culprit..
Running a MacBook Pro 2015 15 16GB with a clean install and Safari takes 2-3 seconds more than the usual. Yes, it is slower and that was the first thing I noted yesterday.
Same here, running 2019 I9 MacBook Pro, Safari also significantly slower after 10.5.1. Prior to that was super snappy.
Quite a few people are reporting poor connection/speed issues with TrendMicro AV on Apples Support Communities since they updated to Catalina 10.15.1 and have temporarily fixed this by uninstalling their Virus and Firewall Apps completely. Have a look in the MacOS Catalina Community section as this whole fiasco is growing by the hour with more folks pulling their hair out over this and some folks have managed to brick their systems too.
I am having the same issues. Plus, it takes a long time to turn off my Mac. Then once it reboots, it says that it had to restart due to a problem.

Yes! My Mac is almost useless in the condition.

Good it is very easy to update in the Intego NetUpdate panel.

Yes noticeable slow performance on 12" Macbook 2016 and it geats really hot.
I don't have Intego or Ad Guard.
I think I should start to think about downgrading Catalina.
truely horrible update and worst version of Mac OS ever.(been using Mac since Snow Leppard)

MacBook 2015 12” Did clean clean install of 10.14.x month previous. No issue now no heating up.
Even OS X 10.6.0 had huge issue on 2009 Mac Pro. Also graphic card drivers. Sadly no dot zero or one has ever been that good. Wait for SP1 they said on Windows also.
