My Safari v16.5.1 keeps freezing! Hi all, I am running Safari version 16.5.1 on Mac Studio 2022 with 64GB RAM in macOS Ventura 13.4.1. Lately, I have been seeing my Safari freezing over Youtube, or streaming sites. There is no way to refresh. Sometimes it will sort out by itself, sometimes it will just freeze until my patience ran out before I force quit Safari. Does anyone experience this issue?

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.

Exhaust all of these steps before contacting Apple:

If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on Mac - Apple Support

If Safari isn't loading websites or quits on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
