Safari crashes when entering 'ar'

FYI running Ventura 13.3 with Safari 16.4 and have just tested the website in question.

No issue last all

refer to image below

Perhaps with Safari completely Closed

Hold Shift key and launch Safari from the Applications folder

This would be a Safe Launch of Safari

The test again

Still having issues

Suggest the User start with Points 1 to 4 and then Test

Still having issues, move onto Steps 5 and 6 and Test Again

Still no resolve - move onto Step 7 and follow instructions therein 

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.

2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 

3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?

4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.

6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.

7 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.

This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.

It makes a coherent and readable inventory of both the Hardware and Software used on the computer 

The application is free or paid from added features. 

The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information.

Dear Mr Phillips

I really appreciate your fast and supportive reply.

I followed your step. No change starting Safari with shift-key. It was, however, well behaved when booting into safe mode. After restart into normal mode, the crash did still occur. Creating a dummy account and using Safari was again fine. Switching back to standard account resolved the issue.

Safari does not crash anymore after letters a and r.

Thank you very much for your help

Welcome but some concerns remain

Q - Creating a dummy account and using Safari was again fine. Switching back to standard account resolved the issue. "

A - This generally would indicate some piece of Third Party Software installed in theStandard Account is the root cause of this issue

A - But if switched from dummy back to standard account fixed this issue - perhaps the user was just Lucky this time, though, the issue may return
