"crashing: Why is my M1 Macbook Air with 16gb RAM crashing?: It crashes when using Safari. When crashing, a purple rectangular shape appears in the bottom right side of the screen. Should I make an appointment to get my laptop checked?"

Safari and CPU:
Safari may be using too much of the CPU. For how to check, go here: View CPU Activity in Activity Monitor on Mac - Apple Support
Try a Screenshot:
Open Activity Monitor and then open Safari. Take a screenshot right after opening Safari. Then, boot up, looking at Activity Monitor on the screenshot.
