I have a Mid-2011 MacBook Air. Everything seems to be working fine, except Safari keeps freezing and stops responding. Sometimes, when Safari freezes, it causes the whole computer to crash and I have to restart it.
I thought browsers were supposed to have security measures that prevent this from happening (like Sandboxing). How can a webpage crash the whole OS?

My assumption solution: Safari is continuously attempting to reload the last session. To resolve this issue go to
~/Library/Saved Application State/
Remove the com.safari... folder and place in the Trash.A second issue could be adware, which created the issue in the first place. Open Safari, which should operate properly after removing the above folder, and go to AdwareMedic . Download and run the free program and that will remove any adware.
