Safari hangs when clicking links to Youtube. Copying the link and pasting it into any other browser - chrome, opera, firebox - works perfectly and every time but Safari is my default browser and it annoys me that it is often the buggiest.

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.

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.

Hi,
Safari hanging might be due to incompatible plug-ins.

Why would safe mode make a difference when every other browser is working? And same goes for user account! It is clearly an issue with Safari. Safari is just dodgy! Chrome, firefox and opera (with or without VPN) all work fine. I'm not going to restart my computer to make Safari work properly; sorry, Apple should do their own debugging work! Thank you for you help though! I see there is an update, I'll try that.
