After updating to Safari Version 17.5 (17618.2.12.111.5, 17618) it sometimes crashes

Hello,

My previous Safari version (before updating my Mac to macOS Monterey 12.7.5) worked fine. Now I have Safari version 17.5 (17618.2.12.111.5, 17618) and it crashes about 3 to 4 times per day, e.g. when clicking on a link or closing a Safari window. The situation can't be reproduced.

I haven't changed anything else on my Mac, just installed both updates.

Is this a known bug?

Thanks.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.7

exactly the same issue. safari crashes when i close a tab either by alt+w or x icon mouse.

safari 17.5 (17618.2.12.111.5)

very unstable. sometimes it works even after closing 20+ tabs. sometimes crashes repeatedly.

it started after 12.7.5 update monterey.

Have you tried launching Safari with the Shift key held down to clear out its caches, etc.

Agree, I tried too and it made no difference.
