Has anyone noticed this? For the last few weeks, I have noticed that editing the scope of profiles using Safari is very slow. It starts after I click Edit and try to add or remove computers or groups in either Targets or Exclusions. The first thing I thought of was that I use an ad blocker. I made sure that it was disabled for Jamf cloud. It is. If I try editing the scope of profiles in Edge or Chrome, there is no issue. I have been a Safari user since it was released as a beta app in 2003. I prefer to use Safari, and I only use Edge when necessary for sites that I use for work. I'm very stubborn about my preferred apps so I really don't want to have to switch to using Edge for Jamf Pro. I have tried this on my work MacBook Pro and my personal MacBook Pro. It's the same issue.

I'm glad it's not just me! We're on Jamf Pro 11.6.1 now. The issue is still there.

I gave it a whirl. Seems fine for my Safari. Jamf 11.6.1.

Does it happen if you try Safari Technology Preview?

I'm seeing this now. But it only happens in a few configuration profiles for me so far.

OMG yes.  Please report this to Jamf.   It's Safari 17 and up that are affected.

I have two Apple Silicon Macs with Safari 17 / 18 and they are dog slow.

I tested the same actions on a 2018 Intel Mac mini with Monterey and Safari 15, and it beats both of the newer computers in responsiveness.  So Apple changed something in Safari 17 that severely impacted Jamf.
