since upgrading to Monterey 12.5.1, Safari keeps crashing within minutes of opening. I have cleaned all of the Safari cache and re-started several times, but the issue persists. HELP!
iMac, OS X 10.11

Hold the Shift key down when you launch the Safari.app and compare your results.
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN
all known to cause issues on the macOS
if no insight or resolve:
—try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Log in and test, reboot as normal and test.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

As soon as I set Firefox as my default browser, the problems stopped, at least for now. I will run it for a few days to see if that is indeed the problem.
