We set them up new and users cannot add an internet account. When we try to add, we see a pop up saying that Google needs to authenticate in a browser and click Open Safari. Nothing happens." I also had the same issue I have resolved by chaing the default browser option in general settings to Google chrome it also gave me issue I changed it to Brave browser. I saved the changes and now I have added the internet account for google gmail account.
