Thank you!

The solution that worked is to replace the MobileDevice.framework folder using a backup, as suggested on hhttps://discussions.apple.com/thread/250021459

It was a bit of a pain to redo the soft links in this folder, but it worked and Safari now loads.

I wonder which application could have corrupted a file in this directory? I did not install anything recently that should have accessed it.

When I enter Time Machine and look into a back up, how can I find /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/MobileDevice

When I search this, nothing comes up in Time Machine.

Go into the backup to a time when Safari worked. Select your hard drive, then the System folder. Select Library, then PrivateFrameworks. Then MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/MobileDevice. Restore that file. Quit/reopen Safari and test.

For what it's worth, by trial and error I found that the "offending" file is the new version of

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/MobileDevice

The new version is 3.8 MB, whereas the old version is 4.0 MB. Replacing it with the older version fixed the problem for me.

Not that this helps anyone, but maybe the developers can figure out where 200 KB went "missing" from the new version of this file (perhaps a missing image inside the file).
