My safari immediately freezes upon opening. Has been doing this for a day now. Totally, utterly useless.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2
I went to "Library" and deleted all the Safari folders. Even then it took another half hour or so for Safari to work again. Maybe it was malware. But It is working now.
The problem was that Safari wasn't even opening all the way. It would start up half way, without the favourites bar and then freeze.

Quit the Safari app if it is open. To do that click and hold the Safari icon in the Dock and choose Quit from the menu that appears.
Then, press and hold a Shift key while launching Safari again. That action opens Safari in windowed mode (not full screen) without opening its previously opened windows or tabs.
Release the Shift key when the Safari window opens.
I've been having the same problem, and I can't even get this far ^ When I click extensions, the rainbow of death starts swirling and I have to force quit. Safari suddenly stopped working yesterday and I have tried all the usual tricks to try to get it to work, to no avail. Currently typing this on chrome, which is working.
If you are able to get Safari open doing what John Galt said, go to Safari > Settings > Extensions. Uncheck any extensions, if any, that you have there. Once you know Safari is stable again and you have extensions that you want, add them back one at a time to make sure they are playing nice.
And booting into Safe Mode has the same problem or are you able to check your Extensions then?
go to Library and delete all Safari folders. That does the trick.
Tried this, tried safe mode, tried reinstalling OS. Now app wont even open.
Well a Safari update just appeared and it fixed the problem as soon as I installed it!
