Since I've updated my Safari to latest (but not my OS, that is still on Sequoia) the address URL box is causing so much instability. It takes multiple seconds to be able to type in it, it beach balls constantly and I just was forced to FORCE QUIT the Safari process.
Unbelievable that this left Apple Park in this state and remains unpatched.
@dashorst I’ve reported this bug (FB20414621) and the bug report shows that there are other similar reports, so they must know about it, but I don’t think they realise just how bad it is. It still says “Resolution: Open”, too.
I really hope we don’t have to wait until they’re ready to release Safari 26.1 because this needs a fix ASAP.
I’ve seen it allocating upwards of 120GB of RAM before it crashes. It’s probably causing a lot of SSD wear too.
