safari won't launch!
After the update today to Safari 13, now Safari won't even launch! I rebooted my computer several time but didn't fix the problem. I'm on MacOs 10.14.6. Any idea how to solve this?

You need to reinstall the OS. Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart). Run Disk Utility and select First Aid. Then re-install the OS.

Have you tried opening it from the Applications folder? The Dock alias may be corrupt.
Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?
Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown. If the log won’t post, try posting it in Pastebin and provide a link in a reply. After pasting the report in a PasteBin page, go to the top of the page, and copy the address in the URL bar. Paste that in a new reply. Pastebin
No antivirus, not VPN. Even with a new account or safe mode, Safari won't launch. It looks like the installation broke somewhere. Is there a way for me to re-install Safari?
Thanks Eric for your answer. Unfortunately I have no time to spare on reinstalling the full system so I guess I'll stick to Google Chrome and wait for Catalina to arrive.
