My touch is functional in all other applications except Safari, not that it doesn't work but that
the media controls (play/pause, video skimmer, picture-in-picture, etc.) literally just vanish when any video is played on the browser.
It could be a YouTube video or any video at all. Occasionally the controls randomly show up but the moment they are used they vanish again, and when they do show up, the play/pause button is missing or the video skimmer is missing and instead has a different configuration [ refer pic 3]. Sorry for the confusing picture orientation.

If no resolve— verify your Software is up to date.
You can always reinstall the macOS on top of your existing macOS to sort anomalies with "baked-in" apps like Safari.
