Apple’s Safari browser conks out worldwide on iOS, OS X
Users reporting the issue on Reddit suggest turning Safari Suggestions off as a workaround till a fix can be implemented

MANILA, Philippines – The Safari browser of Apple appears to be having issues worldwide Wednesday, January 27, as attempts to use the address bar to search for information on both iOS and OS X will reportedly cause the browser to crash.

Users reporting the issue on Reddit suggested turning Safari Suggestions off as a workaround till a fix could be implemented.

A report from The Verge also suggests using the private mode option in the browser.

Some users may not experience the reported issue with Safari due to local caching of search suggestions. Others may also be able to reach Apple’s servers due to DNS caching.

According to iOS developer Steven Troughton-Smith, the issue does not appear to affect Safari on iOS 7 or earlier. – Rappler.com
