Big Sur and Safari issue

Hi,


Since upgrading to Big Sur I've been having problems with internet speeds while using Safari.


All other devices in house are fine

Internet speed is fine

Google Chrome is fine


It is just Safari. Internet seems to drop out randomly, and sites take an age to load. Would like to get this resolved, but can use Chrome so not the end of the world

     Please read the article before clearing history, this is like low a level resetting of Safari.


2. Clear all website data
