Gmail hyperlinks no longer work in latest Safari update

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?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Go step by step and test.


1. Quit Safari, launch Safari holding the Shift key down.

2. Startup in Safe Mode. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/start-up-your-mac-in-safe-mode-mh21245/mac.

    It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility

    And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and 

    the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed


3. Clear History

    Please read the article before clearing history, 

    this is like a low level resetting of Safari without affecting passwords and bookmarks.


4. If Safari doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected
