How can I fix browser crashing issues after macOS update?

I'm using a macbook pro 2019. I just updated my computer. All browsers keep crashing. I keep getting this message Namespace SIGNAL, Code 4

I just performed an ETRECHECK report and they found no majors issues just all the crashing. Can anyone help?

Try this:

Go to Finder > Go > Go to Folder, and paste this location in there and delete the "com.apple.SpeakSelection.plist" file (don't forget the "~" character in the front):

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SpeakSelection.plist


The problem may be with the com.apple.SpeakSelection.plist and once you delete it the issue may go away.


If that does not solve the problem, it would be helpful to post the EtreCheck report using the Additional Text option when posting. As you know, the report contains no personal information.
