Some Thoughts:

A. Contact the Developer:

Ask the developer if they have some input on this. It seems to get this to go away, you need to upgrade to Big Sur.


B. About WebKit:

Note that there are lots of reports of annoyances of WebKit on these forums. So, consider not using it, as it just gets in the way. This is a pure example of how and why.


C. Why Can't you Not Upgrade?

Why can you not upgrade to Big Sur? Are you not permitted for some reason? Or is is just not working? Important: If you were to upgrade to Big Sur, then make a backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the upgrade.

Uninstall the Safari technical preview.app


Apple's aim with ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download.

"Not all Apple PC'c can be upgraded to Big Sur, my 2013 Imac cannot. where other (cheaper) models in the same timeframe can, shame on you Apple. Now we are in a Catch 22 situation, cannot upgrade, but wish to use the Safari Preview. It can be overcome by pressing cancel every so often, but really there is no need for the constant nagging."
