Q: Safari keeps crashing/freezing after install of El Capitan

After the install of El Capitan, Safari 9.0 keeps locking up and or crashing.

I have a Mac Book Pro 15'' 2.3 GHz i7, 4GB Memory, 500 GB HD, iOS 10.11

 

When using Safari, I will have class work up and YouTube or iTunes playing. Before El Capitan it would do those processes with out a problem. Now it seems to lock up, unable to refresh, unable to exit Safari. I have to force quit and shutdown to try and get control back. Occasionally even after the shut down it will still lock up.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11)

    I'm not able to recreate the lag that you're seeing, @Alwayserik. I was even at 4K. He's good, but I am wondering how that channel is at over 6 mil. subscribers (even if half of those are real, it seems strangely high) and nearly 2 mil. on a 1 day old video...that's probably another issue.

     

    OK...back on topic...

     

    Are you sure it's not an Internet issue? Your ISP could be doing all kinds of odd things.

     

    @palegreenghosts - Good to hear your results. I haven't seen the very few nuances I had at first after the upgrade either. Maybe YouTube made some changes as well.  I agree on the hardware comment. I'm not ruling a hardware issue out of the equation. I do wonder if there's anything else that's not running at 100%, but is just off our radar.

    I also sometimes (very rarely) have slight lags when switching/closing code-heavy tabs with spinning beach ball, which goes away in couple secs, but no total freezes.
