Hello Chaitanya_kasaraneni,

Thanks for the additional information.

Were you able to test this issue in safe mode or a new user account? If this is only happens with Jupyter Notebook (Python), you many need to reach out to them to check for any compatibility issues with macOS Big Sur. 

Take care!

Hi,

I have an intel Macbook air from 2017. I am facing the same issue. The same Jupyter notebook was working fine with Catalina, and this issue has started for me only after the Big Sur update of 11.1.

I have checked the same issue with other browsers such as Chrome and Firefox. It works fine with them. This issue appears to happen only on safari.

I tried to fix the issue by booting in the safe mode and doing the same process, but it didn't work.

Thank you
