Yosemite 10.10.3 Fails with Black Screen Crash Again

The crash took place after installing some extensions in Safari, specifically and installed in this order:

Stop/Reload (stop current page and reload it)
Translate (translate current page)
Safari Restore (re-open tabs from last session)
Adblock (block as much advertising as possible)

It crashed shortly after installing Adblock.  This goes back to what is a coincidence.  We don't like that game so we back out.


Those extensions have now been removed and I wait again.  Nothing else will be added / removed before morning unless it crashes again.  In which case, I will retreat in the same direction I got here.  The first thing to be removed will be to shutdown Time Machine and remove the disk it uses which is the one most-recently brought online.

That it crashed again is crushing but this campaign will not stop.  The system had remained stable for over eight hours with all the other devices so I have no reason to suspect them.  Even so, they can be pulled back offline just as quickly as they went onto the system to continue backtracking toward stability.

So, no other changes but removing the Safari extensions and I will leave it to morning to wait for results.  Meanwhile, back to FlightCtrl HD.

Of course it's deeply-upsetting but do you want to hear about that??  I don't.  So, off to the airport to see how many I crash this time.
