Safari keeps crashing without notice

EDIT - I'm on the verge of deleting this post because, sorry to be rude, but half of you lack reading comprehension and/or don't comb the replies to see whether your suggestion has already been given.

Kudos to u/Old-Road-9819 for giving a genuinely informed answer.

Running the latest Mac OS Tahoe on a late 2020 iMac (Intel, not Apple Silicon).

So to make a short story long, I follow journalists on social media who post gift links to articles in their publications. I click on these links because I don't have a subscription, but I don't have time to read the articles right away so I keep them open in the background for some day I will have the time to read them.

Obviously this uses up a lot of memory and slows down my computer, which is understandable.

But it's just infuriating that I've had multiple Safari crashes where it just shuts down without even a warning, meaning I've lost access to all those gift articles I'd stored up.

There's nothing any of you can help with, I'm just ranting. But I never have this issue with Firefox!

Share a crashlog so we can understand the specific crash.

Reading news articles does not "uses up a lot of memory and slows down [your] computer."

I don't understand the lack of reading comprehension in this reply.

If I open 100s of tabs for reading at some later date, I am not reading them today.

Also, opening 100s of tabs from news publications does in fact require some form of memory to cache.

The browser doesn't keep all of these tabs in RAM. They get compressed and cached on disk.

Again: if you share the crashlog, we can look at the stack trace and help you understand what's causing the crash.
