Safari Crashing for Both iOS and Mac Users, Fixes Identified [Update: Fixed]

Thought that was a bit weird to have happen. Restarted my device, but then switched the control to off as mentioned. Still on 9.1 though in Australia.
 
MobileSafari seems fine on my 6+ (8.4):

Unfortunately, none even come close to rendering web pages as fast as Safari, on my devices at least. A content blocker makes a huge difference.

On OS X, this isn't as noticeable (for the most part), but Safari is still the fastest browser. It's a shame that's all it is - fast.

Maybe Apple should allow content blocking for other browsers too

Never gonna happen. They want people on Safari, and content blockers give it value.

If you want content blocking systemwide, jailbreak and get Minimal Hosts Blocker.
 
I noticed my iMac starting to freezing since yesterday... Now, I turned safari suggestions OFF, so let's see if it fixes now.

A lot of ads are starting to get through with minimal and the other untrusted hosts blocker. The NBC News app is one example. Every video I've tried to watch this week delivers an ad at the beginning. On my Rooted Samsung Note 4 and Note Edge, Adaway is still successfully blocking ads in every app I use.
 
It's the same story every other day. Apple quality as been sub-par over the last 3 years. Sure, Apple under Jobs had issues, but not to this extent. Not everytime they released something. This is Tim Cook's Apple.

We had a good run folks. We had a good run.
 
Strange... I'm not having any issues with this at all. iOS 9.2.1 on iPhone 6+ 64 GB and 2011 MB Pro 8,1 Mac OS X 10.11.4. Safari Suggestions is turned on. Strange.

Safari isn't a good browser. It's fast, but apart from that any other one kicks its ass - extensions, privacy settings, customization. Firefox is the undisputed leader in all those categories.

I only use it on my iOS devices because it's faster than any browser out there, FF for iOS is subpar and Chrome has a horrible UI. This bug should have never passed QA and it's mind-boggling to think Apple have not discovered this in many years (Safari suggestions are not new).

You lost me at Firefox is the "undisputed leader".

10.11.4 beta 2. Facing beach balls. Is this related? I have disabled Suggestions on the Mac but beach balling still continues frequently. Any ideas?
 
I wasn't having this problem, so I went into preferences and noticed I had already turned off Safari Suggestions, probably at some time distantly in the past. So it was causing slowdowns and issues back then too.

Ah well, off it stays. I still get my Google suggestions which is plenty enough for me.
 
What's the point of an Apple System Status page when they don't bother to update it when something goes wrong? Not the first time.
 
Some of you make this out to be such a huge big deal, when IE crashed three times a day you all took it like oH well but if Safari crashes it is the end of the world. Apple is not infallible and they do make mistakes. I haven't use safari since my first Mac. So to me this is just who cares, I don't use it on my iMacs, Mac Mini's, iPads or iPhones. This is just another day.

I wonder if this is a US only thing? In the UK i'm having no issues at all? UK nodes working ok maybe?

Nope! I'm in the UK and everything was fine for me up to about 10.30am, then it went t*ts up!

I'm happy that the fix works :)
