Safari Crash when Javascript Enabled

Safari recently started crashing when visiting certain websites. Not crashing while visiting others. I have been able to stop the crashing by deselecting 'Enable JavaScript' from the Security Settings.

I have ensured that I'm using the latest version of Safari, and macOS is the latest version also.

I have tried disabling all the extensions (there was only one). No luck. There is no crash report. Safari simply closes.

I haven't yet tested on a new user account but that's my next attempt when I have the chance this weekend.

Has anyone had experience with this issue and have a possible solution that I can attempt?

Here is the setting that keeps Safari from crashing:

To update. I created a new user account aith Admin privileges and tested on there and Safari works fine.

This tells me that it's something in the users profile. So the next step is to figure out how to reset the users Safari to it's out-of-the-box settings so that it can work as it does in the new user profile.

The reason I want to pursue this route is because the user profile has a lot of customizations, drive maps, software, etc that may have to be reinstalled and it maybe a lot less work to simply put Safari back to it's defaults.

I have turned off the extensions. Not sure3 what else needs to be done to set Safari to its defaults.
