Team, I've just updated to the latest version, 11.4 Big Sur. Since then, I haven't been able to open hyperlinks from my Gmail in Safari - it starts loading then stops. I also can't search directly into the search bar in Safari, I have to go into Google, then search.
Any ideas why or how I fix this?
