Netflix bug on Safari?

Hi

So, a few weeks ago I watched some YouTube, and after that I watched a Netflix-show on Safari.

but while I watched the documentary on Netflix there were 'flashes' of a clip I've watched on Youtube on my screen a few hours before. Super weird. It still happens to this day, on all the shows that I watch. They are always flashes from the same YouTube clip that I've watched. And this only happens with Safari.

Does anyone know what to do about it ?

(sorry if my English is bad)

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Start up in Safe Mode. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Launch Safari and test.

After testing, click the “Restart” button at the bottom.

Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History…. The down side is it clears all cookies. Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db and move it to the trash.

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
