So many bugs in Safari on MacOS

1) When I click on any link, it doesn't the link. Instead page goes blank an again the same page reloads. Sometimes the new page open and I'm automatically taken back to the old page without clicking anything. I have to click on the same link again to open the required page.

2) Sometime the back button just doesn't work.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3
