I didnt download Safari 15 until today but Safari kept crashing which makes it useless. I'm using Big Sur but I dont know what's going on. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, Safari 15 still has some problems here and there.
To get around i'd try
- checking for updates, maybe there's a new version where your problem is fixed
- use Migration Assistant to restore apps from Time Machine backup (if you did it beforehand)
- reinstall Safari (without reinstalling the OS) and see if it helps
- reinstall OS (your data will remain in place) - this will put back the Safari version your OS came with

Safari on 11.6.1 (Version 15.0 (16612.1.29.41.4, 16612)) is acting very odd for me, especially with facebook on busy groups. Seems to kill the tab and re-open it. I need to monitor what resources are getting eaten up.

Got it, a 360 photo is crashing it. Unlikely to be safari either as chrome, firefox and edge all do the same but edge in a win10 vm is fine.
