Q: Safari 10 crashes

Safari has been crashing repeatedly since updating to version 10.  It has been when I have clicked on something, viewing site I normally visit,and sometimes while I am reading.  Is this a bug? I have run disk repair, and the issue persists.

    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History…. The down side is it clears all cookies. Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db and move it to the trash.

     

    Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.

    I have the same problem too e.g. when I open google maps or youtube.

    Before the update Safari worked fine.

    I´ve removed all extensions and even Adobe´s Flash Player, but the issue persists.

    Same problem.  Having Google Maps open increases the likelihood.  One time, every time I closed the Google Maps tab, Safari crashed.  I'd re-launch Safari, same tabs would appear and when I closed Google Maps, Safari crashed again.  Did this every time.  I wound up rebooting to get this to stop.

     

    It was stable before upgrading to v10, and unstable since.

     

    It crashed just now. I had open Facebook on one tab, and it crashed when I opened a 2nd tab and went to the Apple site, and clicked on Watch.

    I did all of these deletions and the instability persists. Any other suggestions?
