Safari Continually Crashes

A couple days ago Safari, Ventura, started crashing regularly. I had several tabs open so pared them back and still had the issue. Then found Safari 17.1.2, a dot release for me, and upgraded. I still have the issue. I do run a few extensions but these are extensions I have been running for quite some time. I have sent several of the crash logs to Apple but would like some help figuring out why this just started and continues to happen.

Running Ventura 13.6.1 on MacBook Pro

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.6

jRom13, I have 5 extensions and have turned them all off and adding 1 back at a time. I currently have added 2 back and I am waiting a couple days between each addition to ensure it isn't happening. My gut feeling is there is an extension causing the issue but these are extensions I have used for a long, long time.

Please let me know if you figure anything out.

jRom13, I have now removed and slowly reactivated all 5 of my Extensions. I have done nothing else but the problem seems to have gone away. I hate it when I can't find why something happens, it is my nature to find root cause. However, at this point, I am going to just watch to see if Safari starts crashing again.

Did you have to reinstall the extension to get it to update? I thought they would update automatically as long as auto-updates is turned on.
