This seems to be similar to issues others are having after the Safari 14.1 update 4/27/2021 that was part of the Catalina 10.15.7 update and it relates to JavaScript.  


Test the following:


Turn off “Enable Javascript” in Safari: Preferences: Security 


See if this resolves the the issue loading pages  


This is not a solution since pages are only partially complete and lacks any Javascript functionality.  


I am still searching for a fix.


Bottom Line: At this point this is most likely an Apple bug/issue related to 14.1 and they need to offer a fix other than an OSX reinstall and that reminds me of the #1 Microsoft Windows issue solution!

This seems to only happen with Catalina and Mojave. It's a real pain, and makes Safari basically unusable. I wonder how this slipped past quality control. Disabling Javascript fixes the issue, but at the expense of most sites no longer working properly. I hope an official fix arrives soon.

Sorry - bad news: After installing the Safari update which should fix the problem, everything indeed seemed back to normal (which I also posted here), but yesterday the problem began to reappear: Content in my banking website frequently just disappears when I move the mouse over the content. The difference is that before the fix the content did not reappear at all until reloading the website, but now the content sometimes reappears again (typing random keys on the keyboard seems to help here). Nevertheless it keeps disappearing and a normal usage of the web page is nearly impossible. Currenty I'm using Chrome for my banking stuff.


Apple, please fix this!
