I just installed the latest version of Safari onto my MacBook running 10.11.6. Safari has crashed several times and at one point it was using 75GB of memory according to Activity Monitor, it is currently at 24GB, with a single tab open.
Even just sitting watching the memory utilization it constantly climbs, with nothing happening in the browser.
Has anyone else experienced this?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
Thank you soo much. followed the steps, fixed the problem!
Great writeup, fixed my problem. Many Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Dear ShirsenduK,
sadly it does not work for me...
Are there any other options then reinstall or swap the MacBook to a Windows Laptop?
Dear ShirsenduK
Thank you for the help!
With best regards and wishes

I actually found that just deleting Library > Safari was enough to clear the problem for me, but your milage may differ.
Did this and it now seems to be stable on the memory usage. Will monitor it for a while and see what sticks to the wall.
If good, I'll need to update plug-ins, favorites and so on.
thanks
Do you lose all your bookmarks, too, or can you put that file somewhere, and just add it back in?
