I'm getting frequent hangs with Safari in Catalina beta 3, 19A512f. Safari version 13.0 (15608.1.34.1.1)
Many/most websites.
I have not observed this behavior in a clean install. I am observing this in an upgrade to Catalina.
I have cleared out all Safari history that I've read about. All cookies, plugins, extensions. Still occurring although less frequently.
