Safari doesn’t open on my MacBook Pro.

Safari does not function at all.

”Safari quit unexpectedly” appears and does not respond when I click reopen.

The identical response keeps appearing. I’ve been exhausted by the continuous difficulties with Safari and just want to delete it and stick with Google Chrome, which works flawlessly.

Apple processes are continually worsening.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

3. Clear History
