As subject, the issue persists after I upgraded to macOS Big Sur.
Safari forced itself to quit after using it for a while, and a message popped out stating:"Your system has run out of application memory"
My MacBook pro has 8G memory and I only have several applications like Mail/Calculator/News open, this does not make sense.
How could I fix this?
Thanks.
Thanks for your info.
Yes, the Safari suddenly quit and closed by itself didn’t give me an option.
It’s a pretty new laptop with 512G storage.
I checked activity monitor and Safari is using 6.8G of memory I’m now trying to delete the extension to see if this can be resolved.

Welcome, sh9001, to Apple Support Communities!
I’ve seen a seemingly similar issue on another Discussion: NEW MacBook Air M1 8gb 256gb: "your … - Apple Community.
The principle difference is that there, Safari doesn’t suddenly quit (terminate), but they get a dialogue box informing them that their application memory is running low, and having them chose an App to Terminate.
While there does appear to be a problem that occurs when Safari uses significant amounts of memory, you appear to be experiencing an additional issue with Safari quitting (terminating) without giving you the option of what application to Force Quit.
Yes, sh9001, do check to make sure you have at least 20 GB Available on your drive, as etresoft suggests.
Additionally, you should check the article If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support.
You are out of disk storage. It is reporting "application memory" due to the virtual memory system which uses your hard drive. But it is your hard drive that is out of space.
I read the other discussion, I had the same extension "Rakuten" and deleted it, thank u!
I’m ever so glad that the reference to the other discussion seems to have helped, sh9001!
