Hi

Can I ask if you do same thing on a different browser does it reproduce?

If not I would advise the following steps

Clear safari history (Click safari in top menu bar > click clear history) - https://support.apple.com/en-ie/guide/safari/sfri47acf5d6/14.0/mac/11.0
Disabled any extensions/plugin (Safari mere > extensions)
Clear safari caches(you may need to turn this on in safari preferences advanced tab for it to show first:)

Any anti-virus or so-called "cleaning" apps running?

Have you installed the banking security software Trusteer Endpoint Protection or Trusteer Rapport?

Can your connect the crashes to any particular web site?

I certainly have the Trusteer Rapport installed on my iPhone 12 Pro, but on my iMac only the .ipa of that app appears. The only thing I could blame for those crashes is movie downloading processes, but this has never been a problem before. the only thing that has been problematic is some bug that permanently and aggressively opens new Tabs to MacKeeper. I also have installed the Disk Doctor Pro to get rid of some garbage and put some order.

Thanks for your suggestion den.thed but I understand that there are certain features that are not well installed from the High Sierra on my iMac 2011. If you would be so kind to provide me with a Link that ensures its full functionality, I would appreciate it very much.

Update your 2011 iMac to 10.13 High Sierra.

see > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683

That will give you the latest macOS and Safari versions for that year model iMac.

Thank you all very much for your suggestions. As you can understand, I will have to do several tests to determine the functionality of each suggestion, so I will report its usefulness and result.

Thanks for your suggestions Hercules, I have implemented all of them and I am waiting for results. I will have to try FireFox to investigate...
