This issue is far from resolved -- I will have to restart my computer after posting this message. Was just watching a YouTube video when it froze the whole system again.
 
Yes! I thought I was the only one. Safari is completely unusable at the moment -- videos stop playing, the browser keeps freezing and all tabs show empty, unable to load pages or type in the Google search box, etc. I get the "This webpage was reloaded because a problem occurred" error message.But then again I can type this message, even though I'm experiencing this very same issue right now. I noticed the freezing usually starts while watching YouTube videos. Also, this goes beyond Safari. Right now, I cannot watch YouTube videos on any browser -- Safari, Firefox or Chrome -- they all freeze and show the beachball. Restarting will fix it for a few minutes, until it starts again. I had no issues before, all began right after the most recent update, which included updates to Safari, among others. It is very clear that Apple has f*cked it up once again. To put it simply -- I can no longer trust this POS.
