"Safari quit unexpectedly" on my MacBook Pro

"Safari quit unexpectedly" on my MacBook Pro. I have been on two tech calls with no resolve. My OS is up to date. We started a new sign in user and no problems with that account. There is a problem in my user account. What to do from here?

Safari doesn’t open on my MacBook Pro. Safari does not function at all. ”Safari quit unexpectedly” appears and does not respond when I click reopen. The identical response keeps appearing. I’ve been exhausted by the continuous difficulties with Safari and just want to delete it and stick with Google Chrome, which works flawlessly. Apple processes are continually worsening.

Safari problems I have a: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15", mid 2014) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Running Mac OS High Sierra v 10.13.6. Safari keeps opening and closing on it's own. Just every now and then it automatically opens, flashes a browser tab and then closes. Sometimes it opens automatically and stays open requiring me to quit the application manually. Anyone ever experience this? Should I maybe reinstall the complete operating system? Baffled in Portland...

Safari shut down Hi everybody, Safari 12.1 keeps shutting down unexpectedly about a week. I have followed (and learned a lot) some instructions suggested for similar questions here, but the issue persists. I have MacBook mid-2010. Security update 2019-003 was fine in May. I cleared history and cache; started Mac and Safari in safe mode; I'm using Kaspersky Internet security, did full scan, turned protection off, inactivate Safari extension; I tried Malwarebytes, did scan a few times; checked Internet plug-ins in Library folder; deleted and re-installed Flash Player. I noticed Safari quits every time I click Privacy/Manage Website Data. I managed only to check the box "Block all cookies" now. Also, after I cleared all history, I could start Safari neither from dock or application folder. Somehow I managed to open Safari again through Finder/Help/ Mac Help and a hyperlink. I don't understand what's going on and would appreciate any further advice!

You might consider clearing the Safari History (including everything), doing a safe mode start up (that clears a few things too), and ensure you don't have any extension installed causing issues.

One of the tech sessions I was in had me do this. My next step was to get a 1 TB external hard drive to back up my Mac uninstall and then reinstall.
