Safari crushed frequently recently

Does anyone cross this condition recently, it happens frequently after I updated Safari.

I just open browser and open few pages, suddenly hole thins frozen, I press com+con+esc, it didn't say no response or what.


Please move my post to the right place, cause I couldn't find the forum for Safari, if you need.

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Safari
