browser locking up when searcing with Safari using my Macbook pro

After several searches or while I am reading what I found, Safari will lock up and the blue bar moves about 20 percent of the way across and stops. If I restart my Mac, it will sometimes start working - sometimes not. Just checked my software and it is the latest update.

Also, I use Google's Chrome and it works similar to function of Safari described above.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
