Why won't Safari load any web page?

I'm on an iMac and Safari will open but not load any page. Chrome on the other hand works fine. I tried restarting the computer but that did not help. Then I reset the SMC and again that did not help either. Please Help!

Thanks, John

Try to reset the browser: Safari > Reset

If that doesn't work, it's something deeper. What did you do to it last? Uninstall extensions. Get it back as close to factory as possible.

0	This worked for me! Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try Safari. answered Mar 06 '12 at 18:10 johncotton 331●15●22●29

0	It stopped working again. It does work in safe mode though. answered Mar 11 '12 at 17:22 johncotton 331●15●22●29
