"A problem repeatedly occurred error..." in Safari

When visiting various sites in Safari I get the error as seen in the attached screenshot.

I've tried deleting my history/cache, but when I go to: Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data Safari then crashes.

This is only started to happen in the pst 48 hours or so. I've not updated or downloaded any new files etc.

Can anyone help me with this?

Safari is becoming more and more unusable depending on the site I'm visiting, and I'm being forced to use Chrome which is giving me the ick.

Cheers.

Thanks for the list.

Did you try another user account as suggested? I’d try that before anything else as it might tell us where the issue lies.
Reinstalling macOS is safe. This Apple article could give you more confidence: How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support. You may want to back up your Mac before reinstalling macOS. Hold off for the time being, though. There may be other things we can try.

Quit Safari. Open Finder and go to the "~/Library/Cookies" folder. (Click Go > Go to folder in the menu and paste the folder name; the "~" is important.) Delete the file "Cookies.binarycookies" and restart Safari.
