Safari completely broken after 10.11.3 update

Came here to see if somebody else has this problem (couldn't find anything on Google, Twitter etc.), it is indeed completely messed up. I tried clearing all my caches, disabling all my plugins, restarted my Mac multiple times but no solution. In addition to that I also experienced this crash multiple times when clicking or typing in the address bar:

I'm posting this with Firefox because Safari is completely unusable right now.

Experiencing the exact same issue without having updated to 10.11.3 (Still on 10.11).

Once this happens, it is impossible to open another tab, and trying to close it with command-W is also unresponsive.

I think I found the solution: Possible solution to address bar problem: disable Safari Suggestions

Me too !! Also since upgrading the safari page disappears to right (actually all pages float either to right or top). Some Word documents freeze up. There are a lot of issues!!! Or the Launch app page comes on unexpectedly. The size of print increases unexpectedly and can't be normalized.

The computer is nearly unusable.

What's going on?

If you go to Safari Preferences --> Search and uncheck "Include Safari suggestions," then restart your browser, you'll be returned to full functionality. Apple is aware of the bug and are working on an update to fix it. 🙂

This works perfectly! Thank you very much!

You're both very welcome. Just so you know, you can't actually uninstall Safari. OS X will not allow you to do it. It's tied to the operating system, just like iTunes, Mail, and a few others.

really? you can't reinstall it? in the past i could swear i did that...

oh well either way. your solution was a simple fix for a maddening problem .

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really. The only way to reinstall Safari is to reinstall the operating system. You can't treat it like you would any other browser, where you just uninstall it and re-download it. Avoid any programs like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneMyMac and others that purport to help you do this. You shouldn't have that garbage on your computer anyway, but never, never, EVER use a third-party program to remove anything from your computer.

must have been on my windows machine that i did that then

pinkstones,

Thank you for sharing your answer. For the last several weeks Safari has been virtually useless. Your fix worked for me about an hour ago. Safari is working again, so far, without any problems. And thank you for letting us know that Apple is working on it. I was losing my confidence in the company.
