Browsers crashing when visiting random websites

Ever since upgrading to Sequoiah, all of my Mac browsers crash when loading random web pages. I've used Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera, but they all crash when I go to certain websites. They even crashed on this website. I installed Parallels and Microsoft Edge is the only browser that doesn't crash.

MacBook Pro 15″

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

 


—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 



***wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries— connect the charging cable, this will make the wired keyboard successful Safe Boot your Mac.
