Safari freezes unexpectedly

Hi everyone. For the past few days, the Safari freezes unexpectedly. I can recover it by restarting my PC in safe mode (holding down the power button) and restoring it from Time Machine back up, choosing for example the day before. It ran for about a day but then crashed again. I'm using an iMac M1 and macOS Sequia version 15.1.1 and usually browsing with Safari in private window (no history). Any advice on how I can recover it for good? Thanks for your help.

iMac 24″, macOS 15.1

Have you installed any Anti Virus, Protecting, Cleaning software, Safari Extensions or use a VPN...?

If so, then any one of those could be causing a problem for Safari and macOS.

You're welcome.

If this is your personal Mac..?

You should uninstall any and all third-party Anti Virus software and VPN's.

Dear Den, thank you for your feedback. The problem was related to an update of Nord VPN. I performed the update and now it works. All the best.
