Safari Crashing When Opened MacOS Sonoma

I am on a 2020 M1 13 Macbook Pro, and installed Sonoma 2 days prior. Now, whenever I try to open it the app instantly crashes in less than a second, so there is no way for me to clean my cache or anything. Safari is my primary browser, and I really need it back.

upgraded from Ventura to Sonoma Safari stopped working reverted back to Ventura Safari working then upgraded to Sonoma again and Safari stopped working. Reverted back to Ventura and Safari is once again working. Sonoma is broken in regard to Safari.

I'm on a Mac Studio with Sonoma, but I have experienced a number of strange crashes while in Safari to the point of having to relaunch the finder or force quit the app. History will sometimes display nothing until after a reboot. Menu items will sometimes become inoperable as well. Websites will sometimes just stop working. All kinds of crazy stuff. Wish I were more technical, but bottom line, Safari needs some help.

I experienced a similar issue where I reinstalled Sonoma and then restored my files from a backup. After many attempts at trying to get everything working properly, I finally did a reinstall of the OS and since my files were already there from the previous restore it restored all of my files automatically. After logging back in, I went to my time machine backups and restored the \Library\Preferences folder from a month ago. I then rebooted. After logging back in, safari opened without error and hasn't crashed yet. It also fixed Reminders doing the same thing.
