Screen flicker Netflix

I have just upgraded to Big Sur and since the upgrade I have experienced screen flickering when watching Netflix through Safari. I have restarted the laptop and reset the RAM etc but the flickering persists. I have just tried to watch through Chrome and there is no flickering so clearly the is a Safari issue.

We also recommend starting in safe mode. Sometimes just starting in this mode and then restarting normally can resolve issues like this:
