Safari and Spotlight has been crashing since applying the 2017-001 security patch on the 10.13.1 version. Specifically, Safari crashes after a few seconds upon launch, and Spotlight is in a crash-relaunch loop every few seconds with the magnifier icon appearing and disappearing constantly. This is not an isolated issue - there is another thread where many are seeing the same issue, including myself.

Given the fact that the same fix is included in the 10.13.2 b6 and resulting in a similar problem, I have to suspect that something went south.

Same problem.
Yes. Was with the previous beta as well. If you create a brand new account, there it works.
If you delete everything under ~/Library/WebKit, reboot, then Safari stays up, but the Spotlight keeps on crashing.

Looks like some bug got introduced on one of the betas.
 
Yes, I had to switch to Chrome. I couldn't find anything that works. Others are seeing...

Safari is working today. I am not sure if it is related to an update that I did on my iPhone or not, but no longer crashing and it crashed about 30 times yesterday as I was working to debug. Hope it is fixed for everyone else as well.
 
Still no AirPlay from my late 2013 iMac with Nvidia 750m to my Apple TV 4, I just get a black screen :(
High Sierra broke this for me, used to work perfect with Sierra.
[doublepost=1512305505][/doublepost]I use Firefox 57 now after Safari had slowdowns became unstable because of High Sierra. Safari used to be rock-solid with Sierra.
I also love that with Firefox I can scale the user interface and web content through about:config layout.css.devPixelsPerPx 2, try doing that with Safari - you can't!
