Safari url bar crashes

• ancarda 11y ago
  Fine for me (9.0.3 on OS X 10.11.3). It's sometimes very slow (3-5 second lag) to focus the URL bar or open a new tab. The latter I think is related to process-per-tab forking. The former is just bizarre. Safari became very sluggish ever since Yosemite and it's a shame it wasn't fixed in El Capitan. I can only suggest using another browser at this point. Safari hasn't gone under any testing at Apple for some time or these issues surely would have been noticed. Edit: This may be because I have Search Suggestions turned off in the Search Preferences: http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/27/10839758/apple-safari-crash-search-suggestions http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/27/10839758/apple-safari-cras...

    When Safari gets sluggish for me, I go to Activity Monitor and kill any Safari processes with more than 1GB of memory. Usually cures the sluggishness.

    Turn off safari search suggestions. Fixed it for me.

  I started seeing this today (iOS 9.2.1). My workaround is to use private browsing mode.
