Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I have just updated my iMac M1 to Monterey 12.6. The Software Update also updated Safari to 16.0.
Now my Safari is crashing on start-up. I tried starting Safari on Safe Mode, and Safari continues to crash on start-up.
What else can I do to resolve this issue?

So, I have reinstalled Monterey 12.6. Thereafter, I was able to use Safari 15.x.
Since the the Monterey 12.6 reinstall was so quick for me, I took the plunge and did a software update to Safari 16.0.
I am glad to report that Safari 16.0 is no longer crashing. Not sure what happened the 1st time round with the Monterey 12.6/Safari 16.0 updates.
Hopefully, others can take this route if they find their Monterey 12.6/Safari 16.0 updates resulted in Safari crashing thereafter.

Crash on start because it can’t find the PassKey framework
Safari Tech preview works but bookmarksync crashes in a loop
unable to reauth gmail in Mail since it requires safari
currently reinstalling Monterey…
I just got off with Apple Support, and they advise that I reinstall MacOS to resolve this issue. Does Monterey 12.6 have the PassKey framework in the 1st place? Or is that only part of Ventura?
Do you have an opinion on whether Apple Support's suggestion will actually help my situation?
I reinstalled MacOS Monterey after Safari 16 kept crashing on start up.
It went back to Safari 15 and it was working fine, but I decided to reinstall Safari 16 again but the problem persisted.
It crashed on start up once again for Safari 16 and I will have to reinstall MacOS Monterey again
I'm using an M2 MacBook Air
I'm running into the same issue, went to monterey 12.6 a week ago, and automatic updates installed safari 16.0 two days later. Renders safari unlaunchable, crashes immediately, with the same error:
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.WebBookmarks.bookmarksCollectionQueue
Re-installed Montery, fixed the issue, but when safari was updated second time, same problem.
I have disabled auto updates for now - but what next? When will I be able to update safari?
While I have not experienced any crashing or launch issues w/Safari 16, I have found that certain pages on some websites either no longer load or only partially load. I've made sure there are no ad blocker or content blocker conflicts, and all of those no-go pages load as they should with Chrome and Firefox. I guess I'll try reinstalling Safari.
I have a IMAC 21.5" 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 I updated to Monterey 12.6 and Safari 16.0. Safari. After update Safari would not load. Reinstalled Monterey and Safari same problem. Reinstalled Monterey and kept Safari 15.6 all is fine. Spoke with support wioth no resolution. Ignoring Sarfari 16 update until bug. fix..
Reinstalling Monterey fixed it.
Now running on Monterey 12.6 and Safari 15.x.
Safari 16 is pending in Software update. I'll postpone that one for a bit.
For the record I'm on an intel macbook pro.
Ok, thanks for input. I think I will stay on Safari 15.x too after reinstall.
My Safari dock icon now has a white "NO" symbol through it and when I click it the dialogue box says "Safari not supported"!!! MADNESS.
How did you do the reinstall? I just updated to macOS Monterey 12.6 (21G115) and my iMac has crashed twice in a span of 3-4 hours.
Same thing here. Haven't tried to reinstall macos yet.
Monterey 12.6 update - Safari 16.0 is crashing on startup. Anyone else?
