Tabs in safari appear as a blank page when switching between them. Very annoying.

When i have multiple tabs open in Safari and I switch between them, in most cases, the tab shows an empty page. So, I've opened f.e. the ultimate memory-hog Facebook, click on a link, which opens in a new page. Then switch back to the tab with facebook and a complete white page, no content at all, is in view.

Now, I just wanted to go back to the original post, to comment on the things stated. No luck.

It's true FB sucks, UI-wise and has become a memory-hungry sloppy app, but that's not the point.

I've got this issue so often and on so may sites, that I'm really wondering how Safari Version 14.0 (15610.1.28.1.9, 15610) ever has become a released version. I hardly can imagine that I'm the only one having the empty-page-issue. And if so, I would love to hear how to get rid of it.

I'm close to switching browsers now. Especially since Chrome doesn't appear to have this issue.
