Safari frozen when I open MacBook or return from sleep

My internet connection works but when I open MacBook (OS 11.1 Big Sur) Safari does not open. I need to turn off then on the WiFi connection. Why?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Try Booting into Save Mode:

[Hold Down: shift key upon boot]. In Safe Mode, corrupted system files (i.e. caches) are fixed.

  1. Boot: in to Safe Mode
  2. Log in: as same user
  3. Wait: 30 seconds
  4. Restart: your Mac
  5. Log In: as same user
  6. Try this once more
