My apologies to a fellow blogger who has these steps posted on his site. I don't remember which blog I got this information from, but I'm very thankful for his help.
1. Open Settings then scroll down to Safari and click it

2. Scroll down and click the buttons marked Clear Cache, Clear Cookies and Clear History

3. Hold down the power button on the top of the iPhone and the round button at the bottom until it shuts off (even after the "Slide to power off" screen appears)
4. Restart your iPhone, try your browser, then kiss it if it works and promise never to fight like that again

Thank you! :)
Worked perfect on the 3GS version 3.0.1
Thanks - my Iphone is new and I didn't know what was wrong. Your fix was the fix!
Brilliant! Thank you so much!
It worked perfectly!!
You are a darling - thank you, thank you!
WOO Hoo! Fixed! Thank you!
Actually, it is the reboot (power down & restart that fixes things. I never bother to clear caches and history.
Thanks for the tip, I was annoyed that within and hour of getting my new iPhone 3Gs that it locked up the very first time I tried to use Safari, but this cleared it and it's workig great now!
Yeah, a simple reboot was all that was needed to fix mine too (3GS 3.0.1).
thank you. Mind crashed because of porn, lol.
Yeah, thanks a ton. Easier fix than I though it would be!
My safari crashes quote regularly. Shutting iPhone off and restarting used to really annoy me. I found that flipping it in and out of Airplane mode brought safari out of it's crash each time. Don't know if this works for anyone else but it's much faster than restarting.
Same here - your solution worked !
I had the 16GB 3G S for 30 minutes and Safari crashed.
Thanks for the tip.
Thanks very very much! My safari crashed after a week I bought the phone and I was terrified as I did not expect this to happen in a Mac product.your magic worked!

My mother-in-law is very grateful to you. This was the solution to her iPhone issue.
Just worked for me on my iPad, I actually had all of the steps figured out myself except for the restart. Thank you for posting this!
It worked really!!!
Thanks for your posting.
You rock! The hard reboot was the key. Tried everything else and was close to trying a hammer.
yipppe! Thank you! I was not looking forward to going to the Apple store today and you saved me a trip!
Thank you from Texas!
I can't believe users have been having this problem since 2009. I just bought my iphone 4 and Safari crashed before I ever used it. Luckily I googled it when I got home and your solution worked beautifully. What does the store do if you go in with this problem?? Are they able to fix it? I also did not see any comment on the apple page. Doesn't that seem odd?
kevvy kev worked on the ipad, thanks! Gold Coast.
Thank you from Arizona! God Bless you.
Thanks from Brisbane Australia
This one didn't work for me. I have an just restored/cleaned iPhone 4 with 4.3.5 firmware and jailbroke it. The result is that both Safari and Cydia just won't start.
I'm glad it helped many others though so thanks anyway from Sweden!
I'm forever in your debt. Great, easy fix. Kissed my iPhone and kisses to you, too!
If you have chance for visiting Dubai then must enjoy desert safari activities like as belly dance ,4*4 driving and camel riding.
