Newest update keeps crashing & restarting computer

Version 1.31.88 keeps crashing. Not just the browser, sometimes it forces my whole computer to randomly restart. Using a 2012 Mac Mini w/ mac os 10.13.6; yes, it’s old, but it’s what I have & everything was working fine until this update.

Is there any way to download an earlier version and shut off automatic updates? I’ve done that in the past, but yesterday I tried installing an earlier version and received the most recent one instead.

Details from most recent report below; it went on in much greater detail this time, but I didn’t know how helpful it would be to show everything:

@Justanormie,
Thank you for this information. When you try opening the browser, does it crash immediately or does it stay open for some time before crashing?

It almost seems to be at random. This morning, it crashed twice before I could even post my comment on the discussion board, once while trying to read a feed reader site (forced a computer restart) and the second time while trying to make my comment here, when I went to paste the report from the earlier crash. Since then, it has seemed fine; I’m using it now. If it happens again I’ll post the whole report that I see.

Okay, so it has been working mostly pretty well since my last post. I uninstalled and reinstalled yesterday morning because every page turned into an “Aw, snap,” but after that it was fine. Just now crashed again. Full report is too big for the comment box, but hopefully this helps:
