Same, right up until I zoomed in and waited for Safari to produce a higher resolution render.

Partially zoomed in was fine, but zooming to maximum fidelity resulted in the tab crashing (it was completely responsive until the crash). Looks like Safari does some pretty smart progressive rendering, but forcing it to render the image at full resolution (by zooming in) causes the render to get OOMed or similar.

I remember that years ago (mobile) Safari would aggressively use GPU layers and crash if you ran out of GPU memory. Maybe that's still happening?

Preview on a mac handles the file fine.
