Greetings, wqefqwe.

If you are not able to use developer tools in Safari, try to disable and reenable them.

“If you’re a web developer, the Safari Develop menu provides tools you can use to make sure your website works well with all standards-based web browsers.If you don’t see the Develop menu in the menu bar, choose Safari > Preferences, click Advanced, then select “Show Develop menu in menu bar.”” Use the developer tools in the Develop menu in Safari on Mac

Then, quit and relaunch Safari. Quit apps on Mac - Apple Support

We hope this helps!

Sincerely.
