Never had this problem but recently I've had individual tabs crashing over and over, usually most of the way into loading. Running 58.0.2 on a MacBook Pro (2009) with OS X 10.11.6 with 8 gigs Ram. Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB.

I will have the same tab crash over and over and then I'll open it up in Safari and it will be fine. Here are some unsubmitted crash logs. I've been submitting most of them so this list isn't complete.
