I've tried to open it many times today, and it just bounces and then in Force Quit, says not responding. It worked yesterday! I've rebooted, but that doesn't help. I work on the net and can't work without safari. My iMac is running Ventura 13.0.1
Any advice?
Thanks,

Re: Safari not responding : Any advice?
I'm no expert in this area, yet your post surely deserves a prompt response.
Fortunately, Apple Support have articles online that may be helpful.
Wondering if you have plenty of memory ./ storage available
(at least 50 Gb) in order for Mac OS to operate smoothly.
See used and available storage space on your Mac – Apple Support

If you use memory-intensive software:
You might want to :View memory usage in Activity Monitor on Mac – Apple Support

Try turning off any Ad-blockers / Safari extensions / Virus checkers (are unnecessay)
that may cause interference. Third-party (non-Apple) apps / browsers etc.sometimes cause
unusual interference, and some may become incompatible / out-of-date.

What to do: If you can’t open a Safari window on Mac – Apple Support\
or
If Safari on Mac doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected - Apple Support
and
If an app on your Mac stops responding, closes unexpectedly or won’t open – Apple Support
All the best :-)
