Looks like the following command fixed it:


sudo launchctl disable system/com.apple.SafariPlugInUpdateNotifier


Note: if it does not work for you straight away, try to re-login or reboot.


The similar issue was reported at SafariPlugInUpdateNotifier Quit Unexpecte… - Apple Community

and at “SafariPlugInUpdateNotifier quit unexpect… - Apple Community,

but there was no solution mentioned, so I decided to post it here, just in case.
