Search Suggestions Causing Apple's Safari Browser To Crash on Many Devices (theverge.com)

Posted by Soulskill on from the did-you-mean:-daisy-bell dept.

An anonymous reader writes: According to the Verge (and my wife) Apple Safari browsers are crashing left, right, and center due to Safari's search suggestions feature. "Simply disabling this feature will stop Safari crashing, or using the private mode option in the browser as a temporary workaround. Not everyone is affected, and this could be because some have the search suggestions cached locally or they're still able to reach Apple's servers thanks to a DNS cache."

    Yeah, no kidding. If this happens 99 more times then I might as well be using Windows!
