Issue Details

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install extension
2. Launch Safari
3. Note Safari hangs with beach ball indefinitely
4. Force quit Safari and generate MacOS crash/hang log

Expected Behavior

Safari should launch normally and the extension should work

Actual Behavior

• Safari hard hangs, with the spinning beach ball.
• Force quitting Safari is the only way to regain control.
• This is fully reproducible 100% of the time.
• Uninstalling AdGuard for Safari immediately fixes the issue.
• This started back around April with the previous versions of Safari, MacOS and AdGuard for Safari.
• None of the updates have fixed it
• Redacted MacOS crash log is attached.

Additional Information

This issue is a few months old and forced me to uninstall AdGuard after many years of use.
I have been unable to find a cause and no updates over the last few months have made any difference.
My Safari environment is only slightly unusual in that I have a long Reading List (1-2k items) and 25 Safari Profiles.

[4brunu]

I think I have the same issue, but I'm not sure if it's exactly the same.
When my MacBook sleeps and wakes up again, safari will become irresponsive and I need to force quick.
If I disable adguard, the issue disappears.
